On Sunday I gave you a comp play winner on the Jazz-Lakers OVER the total, and I see no reason to change my opinion coming into this Tuesday night affair.
The last 7 meetings between the teams have ALL eclipsed the posted price, and Utah comes into the Staples Center having played HIGH in each of their last 8 road games, while the Lakers also have a bit of an OVER roll working, as Phil Jackson's team has played UP in their last pair of games, and 5 of their last 6 overall.
I just pointed out that the last 7 series meetings have ALL landed OVER, and if you want to take that trend a little further back, you will see that 18 of the last 24 series meetings have also played HIGH.
Based on the numbers I just listed above, it is to imagine these teams getting bogged down in a low-scoring affair in this one.
G-Man going to stick with the glaring OVER trends, and play Game Two of this Western Conference quarterfinal matchup OVER the posted price.
