Hmmm...Scott Foster my favorite ref is somehow in LA today. Lakers coming off last year's X-Mas loss at Dallas where Mavs scored 51 3rd qtr pts and Luka was whistled for his 6th foul but them it was rescinded. Lakers lost both games to Celtics last year and the last one was the controversial ref mistake call that cost the Lakers the game 125-121. Lakers haven't won an X-Mas home game I believe in a few years (2020/2021 season does not count as that was only 2nd game of season in a Covid world). Now Cs are smoking teams on this West Coast trip while Lakers are struggling. But insert my guy Foster freeze. That was a big win at OKC and gave them some momentum maybe. I'd be shocked if Lakers don't get 30FT in this game. Merry Christmas NBA bettors!!
