Preview:
This will mark the Lakers’ first game since the tragic death of Kobe Bryant, and it wouldn’t be the least bit surprising to see them pile on the points in his honour.
The Lakers have had six days off to get their heads straight for this game, although we should see plenty of emotion pre-game. I’m fully expecting a stirring tribute to Kobe to act as a motivator for LeBron James, even though the Blazers have held their own this week winning back-to-back games.
Anthony Davis is questionable to play with a glute injury, while Carmelo Anthony has been ruled out for the Blazers.
Portland’s win over the Rockets on Thursday was very impressive, but their over-reliance on outside shots from the perimeter won’t work against the Lakers. Los Angeles has allowed the sixth-lowest three-point shooting percentage against opponents this year, while the Lakers are also 6-3 against the spread over the last season vs Portland.
All things considered; this should be a very moving Lakers win in blowout fashion.
Odds:
Tip: Los Angeles Lakers at $1.09
