Nick "BookieKiller" Parsons 12/29
Warriors/Lakers UNDER 220.5
The Warriors rallied from an 18-point first-quarter deficit at home Monday and beat Boston 103-99. Golden State, which defeated Phoenix on Saturday, hasn’t won three in a row since April 1-5; suffice to say I expect a large offensive "letdown" this evening.
Keep in mind that the total has gone "under" the posted number in five of Golden State's last seven on the road overall.
On the other side of the court: Los Angeles looks to avoid back-to-back home losses for the first time since the end of the 2007-08 season; to do that I expect a concerted effort on the defensive side of the ball.
The Western Conference-leading Lakers return home from a 1-1 trip that easily could have been 0-2 if it weren’t for Kobe Bryant’s two clutch 3-pointers in the second overtime of Saturday’s 112-103 victory in Sacramento.
Remember, the total has gone "under" the posted number in four of the Lakers last five at home overall.
Bottom line: Here is another powerful "under" trend that the Lakers exhibit; LA has seen the total go "under" the posted number in seven of ten games this season when playing against a team with a losing record.
Expect this and these other strong O/U trends to continue this evening and when coupled with these other factors, the sharp money in this one is on the UNDER!
*7* UNDER.
