Simple Logic: Spurs won today and now own the 7th seed. Portland doesn't want the 8th seed. LA has nothing to play for. I'm probably going to take the ML on this one.
Thoughts?

stay away from this game lol.. take the heat -5 over the knicks.. stop betting on games that could go either way..
if the lakeshow wants to play and there could be various reasons why, home crowd in front of paying fans + abc.. is a large reason.. ish is a business man.. it'll b port playing like for their seeding like you said and the lake show playing to let the public know that they're back orr phil will go zen master and throw the game just to hustle everyone going into the playoffs lol **** this game dont be on it just cause u wanna watch it on abc, imma stay away unless theres some crazy lineage goin down

Kinda pointless to book a line that hasn't even been released yet. The Lakers vets may not care about this game, but there are some reserves on the Lakers that know their season is over on Wednesday. The game may be close, but this is far from a lock for Portland.

I agree with ravkes the Heat over the Knicks is a much better play than the one you are thinking of taking. But good luck either way u go man.

Your very wrong if you think the Lakers have nothing to play for. If the playoffs started today, both Orlando and Cleveland would have home court over LA (if they happened to meet in the finals). The Lakers are 5-5 in their past 10, and they won't be looking to enter the playoffs with the form they're in right now. The game against the blazers is very much a first round possibility. The Lakers won't surrender so easy, and allow Portland the confidence to beat them on their home floor. Portland has already proven that they can beat LA in Portland, but allowing this game to slip from them will have serious consequences for LA if they happen to play Portland in the playoffs. Not to mention they will almost certainly lose HC to Orlando as well b/c Orlando still has the tiebreaker over LA.
