I'm on the Lakers -6 @ Brooklyn Nets for these reasons:

- Nets have looked decent, but they are 3-0 in their last 3 vs under .500 teams.

- Lakers were on a 5 game winning streak before losing to the Pacers in their last outing.

- Lakers have not lost to an Under .500 team since Atlanta on January 30th. They have been harder to stop since the Allstar break.

- Lakers are fighting to get out of the play-in tournament and every win counts from here on out.

- The Nets are 0-5 straight up vs playoff teams, and are 1-4 ATS vs playoff teams in the last 5.

Official Play: Lakers -6

Side Bet: Under 225.5

Hail Mary: Austin Reaves over 15.5 points
