    Lakers/Warriors

    Many here know I am a Lakers homer, so take this post as you'd like. One thing I have learned over the years, the hard way, is to pick my spots with the Lakers wisely.

    I haven't bet on them SU or ATS in several weeks now. When I go to games I usually hit 1Q lines and props for action fun.

    Tonight however, I will be backing the Lakers at +100. After another upsetting "gimme game" loss at home to the Wiz on Friday night, I am looking for Kobe and the boys to bounce back and take this game tonight. Curry's status is still uncertain, but I like the Lakers chances even with Curry in the line up. He's had a history of ankle issues and I don't see him having 100% movement on that ankle if he were to play. Dwight has been beasting and I think between he and Pau, Lee will have a long night.

    Lakers have dominated the Warriors winning 9 of the last 10 in Oakland. They haven't lost to the Warriors since 2011. This is one of the few Northwest spots where the Lakers actually do well (unlike Portland, Denver, Salt Lake).

    Kobe had an off night Friday and Pau was rusty as expected. I don't see Kobe having b2b bad games after having a full weekend to reflect on that despicable loss.

    I wouldn't lay more than -1.5 here simply because of the inconsistencies and mediocre play we've seen from the Lakers this season. However at a +100 ML I will gladly back the purple and gold here. GL on whatever you guys decide to play.

    I'm thinking bout laying off this Riff. Couple things I don't like are Lakers on the road and fact they are 2-0 this year vs GSW. Hard to beat a team 3 straight ecs a real good home squad. I'm sure you are right Kobe bounces back with a big night and Gasol who knows? Kinda has a coin flip feel if anything to me. Hope it hits for ya bro. Good winnin!

    I hear ya bro! I ended up laying a half unit on the +100, and if Lakers are down at the half I will lay the other half unit on them 2H. GL!

    If I were to take the Over, i'd probably go with the first half over. 3rd Quarters for the Lakers can be a sleepwalk.

    Even if he's in he won't be 100% as I mentioned in post #1.

    Nice write up. Sorry, GSW wins this one big time. Expect a big day from Curry, regardless of his ankle situation.

    LOL! no doubt. A lot of GS love on the boards and some idiotic "write ups" are making me love this play.

    Look what happened last night: Spurs were -1 @ Rockets and between 55% - 67% point spread/money line bettors were on the Spurs. Folks thought that now Tony Parker was in the lineup they would win. Moving forward, Gasol is back in the lineup. So, now we're supposed believe now that the Lakers are "somewhat" healthy they'll win tonight?

    I think I key difference between the two is that the spurs were -1 on the road, while the Lakers are +1 here. If the Lakers were -1, I would completely agree with you

    As of 6:51pm est Warriors are -1 (I use pinnacle). Let's see if Curry is playing and if the line flip/flops before tip-off. Will be back later. Gonna watch Monday night Raw......

    Updating a previous item, Stephen Curry (ankle) will play against the Lakers on Monday.

    He was reportedly gimpy in pre-game warmups, but the Warriors are going to risk him in a big game against a divisional foe. We'll be watching his ankle closely and it's a little surprising to see him out there. While he's not at 100 percent, he's simply too good to not start in fantasy leagues.


    hes playing. lakers or gsw??? who u guys takin

    Lakers are 0-4 as dogs when the line is set between +1 & +2.5. Conversely, Warriors are 6-5 as favs with the same point spread numbers. As of 10:17pm est the Jazz are up 16 points vs the 76ers at the half. Lakers are hanging on that 8th spot. Now, this puts pressure on the Lakers to win tonight's game, however, this could be negative pressure for LA as it could lead to bad shots, turnovers, bad fouls. Here's something else: Lakers are 7-19-1 ats in their L27 Monday games, while the Warriors, are 6-0 ats in their L6 Monday games.

    Why isn't Earl Clark starting? I thought D'antoni made it clear before Pau went down that he wants Pau off the bench.. smh.

    Lakers look terrible. Their tempo is way to slow if they expect to keep up with GState

    Over 204 looking good now.

    I think the total was only at 80 with 2 minutes left in the 1st half.
