This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on the LA Lakers.

As the Lakers continue to lose, both straight-up and against-the-spread, the more value they'll continue to bring in the long run.

Bettors are just blindly betting against LA now whenever it takes the court, but I think this one sets up well finally for LeBron James and company.

The season is essentially already lost for the Lakers at 2-10. They most recently fell 120-114 at home to the Kings, but James didn't play.

The Nets are 6-7 after beating the Clippers here 110-95 just last night. Fatigue is a factor in the second game of the back-to-back for the Nets.

Brooklyn is still playing without Kyrie Irving as well. There's a chance that James won't be playing in this game for the Lakers, but I still expect AD to step up here and deliver at home finally. Davis leads the team with 10.8 boards per game.

The Nets continue their road trip at Sacramento and Portland. I think they're happy that they've already won one of the two here in LA.

I say the outright is obviously in the cards, but let's grab the points.

The play is the LAKERS.

Good luck, NP
