I don't know what the actual statistics are, but it's extremely rare for the Lakers to lose 2 in a row at home. I'm expecting Wade to suit up but he won't be 100%...neither will Kobe for that matter...but I'm liking Gasol Artest and Odom to hold it down vs Big Z, Lebron, and Bosh. Another thing to consider is the MIA bench...they're pretty thin while the Lakers have "spark" type players like Steve Blake and Shannon Brown who can change the tide of a game. I don't expect Bynum to be much of a factor even though I hope he goes off :P That's why I'm taking LAL...the better bench and the consecutive loses thing...I usually don't bet on them but it's Christmas so what he hell.
