LAKERS UNDER 196.5
LAKERS -8.5 first half
Both teams played last nite, LAKERS in Phoenix and GST up north. LAKERS game went to the wire with the SUNS making it close til the end, BRYANT played a ton of minutes so unsure how he'll be tonite, and GST is down to 7 or 8 bodies. They shot lights out last nite, nearly 60% for the whole game vs PHILA, but they won't come close to that tonite. I think LA will roll early in this one, build a huge lead by HT, and then rest the starters alot. I was seriously considering taking WARRIORS in 2H, but I'm leary of my LAKE SHOW. JACK and friends will be in attendance and you never know if the guys will put on a show for the celebrities.
With GST being small and weak down low, I think SHAW and MALONE will get 20 apiece, and PAYTON will get 16-18. With KOBE still hobbled, FISHER may get more minutes, but that's fine, he's shooting lites out right now.
Final analysis, LAKERS lead at the half by 14, 56-42
2nd Half will be a much slower and badly played half as fatigue sets in. The younger guys may try and run, but I see alot of TO's from both squads in this one and GST may very well win the 2H, but it won't matter. They won't get to 90 for 2H between them.
FINAL: LAKERS 99 Warriors 87
