Seems a tough game to play, as the line is a little inflated I think. I'd say most the public is thinking the Lakers are faltering of late and Houston has played them close in the past.

Though usually in this scenario L.A. comes back to show up the doubters and makes a statement by blowing out teams at Staples. I got Lakers -8.5 yesterday and think they cover in what will be a beatdown. Good luck!

The public is on the Lakers, hence is why the line went up..

**forzuto13** · 02-01-11, 02:10 PM

Yeah, you are right, everyone is thinking same thing I am. I just gotta go with the public this time I guess. I know Lakers do this kind of performance after getting beat and hearing criticism. Plus I'll get the game on TV here in San Diego, so I had to put something on it to make it more fun to watch

I've got a small play on Houston. Looking for the Lakers to trip up again.

**oChRoNiCo** · 02-01-11, 04:32 PM

gl with the play tonight I tend to agree with you fwiw.

**syy211** · 02-01-11, 04:46 PM

like Houston plus point ... gl to u all

**Afrodiziak** · 02-01-11, 05:06 PM

Bynum is out!

**JK-Line** · 02-01-11, 05:08 PM

I like the lakers tonight to play with a lot more firepower. Call me crazy but I can see the lakers scoring more tonight, might even like the over on this game.

**ParlayJunkie** · 02-01-11, 05:10 PM

Lakers cover.

**phenomenon** · 02-01-11, 05:12 PM

lakers will take Boston revenge ???

**JK-Line** · 02-01-11, 05:16 PM

I don't know about revenge, but this is a good spot for them to release their frustration out

**yassen28** · 02-01-11, 05:17 PM

Lakers by 12

that is what I told about

**JK-Line** · 02-01-11, 05:34 PM

haha hope that we cash. I have a 2 unit play on the lakers tonight haha! Best of luck!

**phenomenon** · 02-01-11, 05:50 PM

YEAH, hope mate

look at these,I wanna parlay them,
portland and boston under,lakers over or -8,5 three teams parlay

**Fabu88** · 02-01-11, 05:52 PM

I agree lakers -8.5, not sure about portland though

**nyplayer33** · 02-01-11, 06:02 PM

byrnum is not a key player for them

**JK-Line** · 02-01-11, 06:07 PM

Haha I dunno about parlays =P I picked portland tonight as I see them as active dogs tonight and a possible win outright. I do like the lakers on the over tonight but I like the lakers -8.5 better but that's just me. Best of luck on your parlay!

I dunno if you are into college ball but I do like Illinois -8 and Indiana State +3.5 tonight

**todd24kb** · 02-01-11, 06:14 PM

Mitch K said yesterday that he may need to trade some players because they aren't performing to their capabilities. Maybe that'll spark up some energy tonight for the Lakers squad. I can only see it as a plus to whatever the line at -9.

Lakers by double digits!!!!

**reppin_the_847** · 02-01-11, 06:14 PM

I think having Bynum out really does hurt the Lakers a little bit. Might need to check out some other 2nd half lines tonight.

**LiarGame** · 02-01-11, 09:27 PM

Would have taken the Lakers, but seeing how Bynum is out, going to layoff of this game.

**forzuto13** · 02-01-11, 09:40 PM

Well they did fine without Bynum during that stretch. Lakers just need that team cohesion, where Kobe doesn't have to carry the load to try and win. If Gasol can get his game back in gear and everyone else gets some points then L.A. should have this one in the bag. And hopefully they will get the sand out of their shoes and run a little faster than has been.

**JOHON8** · 02-01-11, 09:43 PM

Lakers should be -1 every game right now, look at who they've lost to...

They'll bounce back. And on what better team than one from Texas.
Every squad goes through the duldrums at sometime during the season.
BTW, I love your avatar! Travis Bickle is my hero.

**sweethook** · 02-01-11, 10:31 PM

houstons a better team than you think , look at the points gl.

**thejrichshow85** · 02-01-11, 10:59 PM

Need la badly here let's go.

**thejrichshow85** · 02-02-11, 12:03 AM

Damn not looking good for laker backers

**reppin_the_847** · 02-02-11, 12:15 AM

So true.

**kidkonggolf** · 02-02-11, 12:16 AM

Lakers have cost me many times this year and tonite's a typical example why!

**xxdjstriderxx** · 02-02-11, 12:19 AM

this is just awful. need a huge 4q, i need at least -4.5 for my teaser

**stefan084** · 02-02-11, 01:46 AM

the lakers are soft and have been getting out worked all game

**forzuto13** · 02-02-11, 01:53 AM

Yeah, thought I had a chance since I had them at -8.5. They looked so strong from the start too
