Tuesday Night NBA

Sacramento Kings v Los Angeles Lakers



17th March 02:05 GMT

I really didn't like what I saw from the Lakers last night against the Warriors. Zero effort on defense and they really didn't try to crush them. Thought long if I still wanted to take the Lakers tonight, but decided to give it ago. First of all, Lakers without any effort, still lead by 11 points with 2 minutes left last night. Second, I like the refs for today's game. Third and most important, it won't be easy for the Kings to produce two good games in a row. Their last 10 home game losses were by 10 points in average, including recent easy wins by Detroit and Portland.

Lakers have struggled twice against the Kings this season already and this is why the line is that low I believe. But Kings played the Lakers once in their best time of the season and second right after that record performances, when they still were decent and Martin was injured. Casspi was great in both games and now struggles to even get decent minutes. I like both Over and the Lakers here. I will take Lakers -6 for the game and Over for the first half.



Picks:

Lakers -6, 2.0 - 3 units play - Pinnacle

Over 105 First Half - 1.91 odds - 2 units play - Ladbrokes
