Why is the okc/lal so low?

[seaborneq]

Okc should kill the lakers, shouldn't they.

[DallasMaverick41]

Few reasons why it's low:
1) Lakers killed Utah Jazz (Not sure why that would lower the spread though? OKC and Utah are two completely different teams with two completely different play styles)
2) Lakers were without Gasol and Howard last time Lakers played OKC and the spread was higher.
3) Lakers and OKC are playing in LA.
4) Sunday
5) OKC is on a road trip and will play sloppier defense since tired. Although, they just needed to take a bus from Sac to LA..Not that far...

Good points. Not buying any of them for the low line though.

OKC should come out with an easy win.

Because the BOS/LAL ML parlays would pay too much!

I doubt they took a 12 hr bus ride instead of a 75 min plane

[ball so hard u]

Its a trap

[High3rEl3m3nt]

Paging doctor beantownjim....posters want to know what to do here.

[pologq]

its a trap like the knicks were last night against the 76ers. the thunder should be favored by 6.5 as should have been the knicks and the knicks got killed.

[rm18]

I think the Lakers can start winning now that they have benched that loser Antawn Jamison

[jimm246]

Okc should be a easy win by15 or is it a trap. too good to be true. make me want to slam my car on it and lose

[Jeffie]

whether or not its a trap can anyone really back L.A right now? Its OKC or no play for me.

You are right. Its just like the Heat vs LaL last week heat giving like 2 and we sit here looking at saying wtf why so low

Guessing your not from California......

As a native Californian who has lived his entire life in either the Bay Area or So-Cal I can tell you that Sacramento to LA is one mile shorter coming down our I-5 then SF. Which is about 7/7.5 hours if your going above the posted speeed limit or 9 in a bus. They flew to LA, it took about an hour an 5 minutes. No cramped bus legs here...

no the Lakers were favored by like 2.5 or 3, so this line is a pretty big adjustment because OKC and Miami are similar strength wise

[Mitchell88]

this game is a stay away all day IMO

My bad forgot to put the -

[Giogeorge]

Ill take under 206 last time it was 217 depending where and when you got it but the total was 217. Would have gone under if lakers bench didnt score like 8 in garbage time

[High3rEl3m3nt]

Under or no play.

Early game, OKC primarily a jumpshooting team, Lakers should want a slower tempo style game.

Sunday shouldnt be a reason for the line to be low, it should be a reason for the line to be bigger. Lakers usually suck on early sunday games

Im guessing you drive 60 mph? Im from sacamento and it is 375 miles to LA. Takes me 4.5 hours to get to ventura( thats 360 miles in 4.5 hours). Then takes about 45min-1.5 hrs to get into LA depending on times. 6 hours max. I-5 south traffic flow is pretty consistant 80 mph

Nope, native Texan.
Regardless, my point was to say that the trip from Sacramento, whether it be by car, train, airplane, whatever, to LA is not very long

[seaborneq]

Trap it is.

[DallasMaverick41]

Trap it is.

The game hasn't even begun and everyone is yelling "trap!"
It'll just be a close game till the end.

[Giogeorge]

Driving the speed limit from SF to sunset on 405 takes like 5.5 to 6 hours

[seaborneq]

Trap it is.

Yep. Fishy line. Fishy results

Somewhere Goat Milk is freaking out that the Lakers have won two straight while he is serving his self imposed timeout after "Guaranteeing the Patriots win the AFC"
