L.A. thrashed San Antonio 99-85 as 7 \u00bd-point favorites on Sunday. The contest was so lopsided, Kobe Bryant only got off the bench in the fourth quarter for timeouts.<\/p>\n
It was the Lakers 14th win in their last 17 games (10-7 ATS) and they have everyone as healthy as they have been all season with Jordan Farmar, Luke Walton, Lamar Odom and Sasha Vujacic all back to add incredible depth.<\/p>\n
Charlotte (18-26, 27-17 ATS) has been playing with a great deal of confidence, winning five of seven and giving NBA bettors a sense of invincibility with seven straight covers.<\/p>\n
The Bobcats opened a five game road trip in Indiana on Sunday and lost 98-93 as 5.5-point underdogs. Though Charlotte ultimately covered the spread, coach Larry Brown was not happy that his team was out-rebounded by 16.<\/p>\n
Despite the loss, the Bobcats are still 17-8 ATS after playing two consecutive games as an underdog this season.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Lakers (35-8, 21-22 ATS) are 5-2 ATS off a double digit win in their last seven tries and 26-13 ATS in home games after covering two of their last three against the spread.<\/p>\n
However Phil Jackson\u2019s team is not always interested in games like this. The Lakers are 28-4 when favored by 7.5 or more points this season, but a cringing 12-20 ATS. They have the third best home record in the NBA at 22-3, yet are a less than sterling 13-13 ATS.<\/p>\n
Charlotte has been dynamite on the road for sports bettors despite only five wins in 18 contests. The Bobcats are 12-6 ATS as visitors and 22-12 as underdogs.<\/p>\n
Whichever way one might feel about what is the correct side, the Total is a potential match for a parlay. L.A. is 16-6 Over as a favorite of 10 or more points this season.<\/p>\n
If Charlotte has the look catching this many points, they are 22-11 UNDER as an underdog this season, with the Total maxing out at just over 194.<\/p>\n
The Lakers have been a disinterested participant against Charlotte with a 4-4 record all-time and just two covers. Los Angeles will be embarking on a six-game road trip after this contest, and they might get caught looking ahead.<\/p>\n
