10* TOTAL BOOKIEKILLER - 10-2 (+$7.8K) NBA IN JAN!
(NBA) Brooklyn vs. LA Lakers,
Total: 226.50 | -116.00 Over
Result: Win
This is a 10* TOTAL BK on the OVER Nets/Lakers.

Both teams have been playing to several lower-scoring games of late, but the overall situation, combined with the numbers/trends point to more of wide-open shootout here.

Brooklyn is just 6-14 on the road, while LA is 16-7 at home. The Nets have lost four straight, and they've seen the total go UNDER in three straight. Note though that the Nets have seen the total eclipse the posted number in four of their last five after playing to three or more straight UNDERS in a row. The Lakers enter of two quality wins, beating Oklahoma City 112-105, and then Dallas 127-110. With another winnable game vs. Portland after this, the Lakers' offense is starting to "fire" at the correct time here to take advantage of this softer part of the schedule.

The bottom line here is that we're expecting this non-conference game to feature offense, and not a lot of defense, so the play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
