    Why are Spurs -3 over Lakers?
    The Lakers lost 2 in a row before there most recent win over milwaukee on sunday. Do you honestly think they are going to lose 3 of 4. NO way. This is one of those few times when you get the lakers at value. They arent 3 point underdogs to this overrated spurs squad that doesn't play defense anymore at home. Dont be fooled by this line its Lakers or no play. I would be stunned if this line stays at -3 for spurs for much longer.

      1. Lakers usually play poorly in the 1st game of the road trip.
      2. Lakers lost both of their last 2 road games (@Portland and @ Clipper which was not really a road game).

      If Gasol plays tonight, I'll consider the Lakers. But I doubt the line will stay @+3. I'm not convinced that S.A can beat the Lakers though. Do what you do best LB, watch the line and the money movement. I want to know your final thoughts.

        This is strange - i don't follow accuscore but caught some predictions in back of WallStreet journal - they have spurs winning by 2 ..... On a diff note they also have Florida beating Kentucky tonight by 2 as well .... Hmmm

            Lakers are beset by injuries for sure but i think they will gut it out tonight cause they know they are going into Dallas tomorrow and facing a Dallas team they absolutely pasted last time.

                I am Lakers Fan... but i see much value in SAS -3... because?

                1. Gasol will not play tonighy
                2. Lakers on road are a poor attitude like: "we will eventually win because we are better"

                      I like the Laker's, but not tonight. Lay the pts with SAS. I see the game close in the first quarter. SAS opening up the lead in the 2nd and 3rd then the Lakeshow making the mandatory NBA run in the 4th only to run out of steam and lose by 6-8pts.

                        If I knew Gasol was in the line-up I would pound LA. After that 4-21 shooting from Bryant the other night, I cant bet on those hollywood fakers. I hope LA wins SU tonight so I can POUND the Mavs tomorrow.

                                teaser players have a good spot here with LA, good value I think.

                                    My thought is they put Lakers as a dog to screw up any parlays. Leaning Spurs.

                                      Another reason not to take the fakers tonight.

                                        One thing that would worry me about taking SA though is that LA gets up to play the good teams in the NBA. Lets all just hope LA wins tonight so we can get free money from the books tomorrow night in Dallas.

                                                Well if Kobe Artest and Gasol are all out, then this looks bad on Lakers.

                                                  ** not a big fan of teasers and less of a fan when you tease within the same game. Just wanted to give some input as I think the Lakers are getting good value you here. If I had to pick another end to the teaser I would probably take the Florida Gators +7.5. Gl!

                                                      Something fishy here, stay away for me. Spurs will bring their A-game against a weaker Lakers side but could go either way

                                                            Doesn't really help teasing the Lakers to +7, if you look at their losses, they are usually by 9 or better. Once they know they wont win, they put in Morrison and the boys to finish.

                                                              And why is the line moving to +3.5 now? Kobe and Artest are playing? I guess they think Gasol will be missed badly against this spurs team

                                                                  As a spurs fan let me tell you and im sure you already know that Kobe is an absolute spurs killer! Also this is the first meeting of the year between the two teams. This is a statement game more so for the spurs because some people have written them off as a contender. That said, the lakers always get up to play the spurs. This should be a hell of a game. I like the home team laying the points here even against a big night from Kobe.
