*Los Angeles Lakers over Cleveland by 15
The Lakers have too many scoring options for the Cavaliers with Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Ron Artest, Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum. Idle since Tuesday, the Lakers will be pointing to this nationally televised Christmas Day matchup. This marks Cleveland’s fourth road game in six days. The Cavaliers’ focus could be distracted, too, with Shaquille O’Neal returning to Los Angeles. The big guy is sure to be weary fol- lowing the road trip. LA LAKERS 107-92.
