    Why on earth would the Lakers be +9.5 tonight?

    Why would Vegas allow this? Is it because the Lakers are coming off one of the rare blowout wins of the season? Is it because there's an unusually high amount of LA-folk & Laker fans that inflate the numbers in Las Vegas due to proximity & fanbase? What is it? Portland's a quite decent team (in the East they'd be for sure a playoff team), just doesn't make sense.

    Quite a decent team? They stink and have been massively overachieving. But yeah, theyd probably still make the playoffs in the east

    They also have one of the few benches in the league thats actually worse than the lakers bench. I actually have lakers-7.5 for 3.5 units and blazers+9.5 for 2. Hopefully lakers win by 8 or 9 and everybodys happy

    I read that crazy Ron Artest(or whatever he is calling himself these days) solved a dispute in his Cookie monster pajamas.

    Trail Blazers are terrible on the road and have the league's worst bench. Plus, Lakers actually looked good against the Celtics the other night.
