OffshoreInsiders.com handicapper Matt Rivers says go with the LA Lakers at home to the Utah Jazz. The Lake Show is laying 5.5 points according to SportsBook
Here is why he likes the bet:
I played the Lakers in game one and came up a nose short at the wire. The Jazz are good, really good, as Williams and Boozer are superstars and can lead their team to a victory pretty much anywhere and at anytime. But Utah has a huge disadvantage in the paint as they are lacking a ton of size in this matchup, with or without Kirilenko, and should get beaten up down low today.
Gasol, Bynum and Odom have the upside to be monsters and even though they don't always come to play are going to at least be formidable in the least. Then you have Kobe who took over game one late and should be primed and focused once again here.
The Jazz are going to compete but they are also not the same team outside of Mormon country. These guys always play great on their home floor and are never able to get it close to that level on the road. I was very impressed with the effort in that last game as the Lakers shot the lights out early and Utah stayed within range and then actually took that lead in the fourth quarter. But I also can see a banged up Williams and yes the stud point guard is banged up, and his mates not play as well today and find themselves in the tough 0-2 hole in a double digit loss.
I have faded the Lakers a bunch this season including that last series because I loved the young and athletic fresh legs of Durant and Westbrook. I am not in the slightest going to say anything negative about Jerry Sloan squad as I backed them in almost the entire Denver series but I think the Lakers take care of business today with their many advantages and cover the half dozen or so in the end.
