My picks: jazz/lakers 203.5
Jazz/lakers under 203.5 reasoning: for some reason, vegas keeps making the total of a lakers game higher than it should be, and ive been slamming it with success. When they played the wizards, the total prior to overtime was at -40, even after overtime they finished -20 below the line. When they played the raps last night, they ended -29 points below the total, and not to discredit the wizards or the raptors, but they dont possess the defense or rate of play the jazz do. Jazz currently have the fourth best defense, allowing 96.4 ppg, while condeding an average home score of 91.5. To put that into context, the wizards allow 108ppg on the road, and the raptors allow 103 on the road, thats nearly 10 more points the jazz dont allow scored. The lakers have shown without fail they cannot close a game out. This total is higher than when the jazz played okc and minny, which i think is a joke. The total of this game should be closer to 195. The lakers have hit the under in 3 of their last 5 and the jazz have hit the under 4 of their last 5, and the one game that didnt hit the under was a push.
