AAA's 10* "ART OF WAR!" (*SIGNATURE PICK!*)
(NBA) Charlotte vs. LA Lakers,
Point Spread: 3.50 | -105.00 LA Lakers (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* ART OF WAR on the LA Lakers.

If you didn't know, Charles Barkley has vowed not to eat another meal until the LA Lakers can get a win. Chuck must know something though, we all know how much he enjoys eating. While the oddsmakers have the Lakers as the underdog here, I think they have a very legitimate shot at winning this one outright, ultimately though I will recommend grabbing as many points as you can. A big advantage I think for LA today is the fact that it's had four whole days off to refocus and prepare for this one. Kobe Bryant had 39 points in a 112-106 home loss to Phoenix on Tuesday: "Just get a damn win," Kobe said yesterday. "You can't listen to what everybody says. You can't listen to people. You've got to be stubborn as a mule. You've got to keep chipping away. Got to keep competing and going after it, and this thing will turn around. Just as easily as we lost five in a row, we can turn around and win five in a row." "It's good to have a few days to home in on a few things, and work on stuff that needs to be done," coach Byron Scott said. "There's a good vibe. Our guys understand that it's the start of the season and not the end." Charlotte is 3-3 and has won two straight, but note that it's already 0-2 on the road this season, a place that it's struggled in for a long time. Note that Charlotte is just 1-3 ATS in its last four as a road favorite of 3.5 to 6 points, while LA is 6-4 ATS in its last ten as a home dog in the 3.5 to 6 points range. Consider "sprinkling a little" on the money line as well, play on the LAKERS.
