Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NBA Game #512 Sunday Free Pick Los Angeles Lakers (+) vs Utah Jazz @ 6:05 ET - Line opened up at a 5 and has been driven up to a 7.5 so you know where I am at on this one. I am grabbing the home dog value with a Lakers team that does not want the Jazz clinching a playoff spot on their home floor. Keep in mind, LA lost by only 7 points at Utah earlier this week. Now, in Los Angeles, they're getting 7.5 points and feel people are way too excited about a Jazz team that was on a 2-7 ATS run before their big win over a Clippers team that was a mess late this season. As for the Lakers, they were 14-4 SU in their 18 games at home prior to getting embarrassed at home by the Timberwolves Friday. Those 4 losses all game by 5 points or less. In other words, given this line and hosting the Jazz, the Lakers would have gone 18-0 ATS! Now I know they have some injury issues but they've been dealing with those already for a bit and the fact is they will bring their "A game" today in this revenge shot at the Jazz. Fade the masses and grab the home dog here! Free Pick LOS ANGELES LAKERS
