    JAZZ +10.5.. here's why

    I really like the Jazz tonight.
    Final game before the big road trip for the Lakers. Mostly against weak opponents.
    Look what Pau Gasol had to say:
    "No partying at all," forward Pau Gasol said after scoring 14 points in the Lakers' eighth straight win in Los Angeles. "We understand we have so many home games together. I want to see us do this on the road in tougher situations against teams that are ready to play.
    "Right now we're in good shape, but we've still got a long way to go."

    Boozer last 3 games: 35,21,27
    Jazz pts scored last 3 games: 96,101,104
    He averaged 20.6 points and 13.2 boards against the Lakers in the playoffs
    Don't forget Deron Williams-
    Williams scored 20.2 points per game with 10.8 assists in the playoff series

    Utah just beat Spurs on the road 104-101

    IMO JAZZ +10.5 or however you want to play it is a GOOD BET

    Battle Tested Jazz the biggest challenge Lakers have faced in weeks.
    Lakers have only scored 106,110,108,108 respectively vs. Nets, Hornets, Heat Suns all those teams were road-weary and do not have the defense Utah has.

    Utah +2.05 Rebound differential this year, Lakers +1.05

    Something about kicking back with 10+ knowing the Lakers have their minds on the big road trip and Utah is more battle-tested in my opinion
    sounds PROFITABLE to ME.

    Yeah, you can never count on Lakers to cover double digit spreads with any ease, I have gone with the under 206.5 but I thought about taking the Jazz+10.5. Hopefully we both cash.

    you fail to mention the defense of the lakers lately and how they have been blowing teams out of late 10 of their last 11 home games have been won by double digits.

    a unit can be anything.. like a standard amount...

    for instance, my "unit" is $100... someone else's "unit" (perhaps with a slightly smaller bankroll) could be $50, or $10...

    a unit is how much a person wagers each time, me personally a unit is $25.00. for everyone its different could be $50, $100 etc. so lets say i liked this game a lot and it was my top play of the day and i said im wagering 4 units on it, then that would mean im wagering $100 cause $25 x 4 = 100$.

    so yeah thats would a unit means in sports betting.

    Too much stats. I watch the Lakers play all the time. I don't know if Boozer will be able to perform vs Gasol and Bynum. Deron definately will have a good night, as the Lakers weakness is always PG penetration and point guard scoring in general. We'll see, we'll see. The Lakers have had many double digit wins vs the Jazz in the past, we'll see if they bring it tonight.

    I'm from the old school, street betting..

    $5 = a "time"
    $25 = "5 timer"
    $100 = "20 timer"
    and so on..

    I will admit that when they buzzer-beat the Heat Friday night
    I had the Lakers and perhaps I am out for revenge.
