The Late night NBA Game is on the LA. Lakers. 510 at 10:35 eastern. Lakers should keep this one close on Christmas night as this is a big rivalry now and Kobe will be on the floor back and healthy. Conference road favorites of 10 or more like the Clippers with a total of 190 or higher are winless to the spread since 1995 vs a team like the Lakes that are off a straight up and spread loss as a home dog and scored 90 or less. Lakers were lit up last out and should play much better here tonight. Clippers are 3-16 ats on the road off a road dog loss, including 0-7 ats if they are a road favorite. They have failed to cover 7 of 11 on the road and the Lakers have covered 2 of 3 after scoring 85 or less. Hold your nose and take the points with the Lakers.
