Odom should get plenty of face time tonight with Luke Walton out for a week with an ankle injury, he'll continue to start and play heavy minutes - I hope. In this series, he's eclipsed this total 2 out of 4 games and missed it by a point in Game 1. Last time out, he only finished with 10 - but took just 10 shots as the Jazz let Kobe brutalize them. Feeling the Jazz will try something different on Kobe tonight and force some of the supporting cast to score for the Lakers. That means Odom could get some shots. In the two games where he beat this number, he took 26 total shots and made 18. I think he'll need to get up at least a dozen shots to have success with this number tonight. Considering he scored at least 14 in 5 of 7 vs. Utah this year, I think this has a legit shot - especially if the Jazz can keep it close. That could be the real key here to make sure Odom gets plenty of opps.
