Sadly, as much as I love KD… This is the real answer. Can’t win without leaders. Most NBA players are just players who do what they do. They don’t know how to elevate their teams.

Most people can't read above the 6th grade level. @smellybunty doesn't read at all.

@ALTIS

Great job yesterday. Is LaMelo factored into your Wizards play?

@NoPitchCount

Unfortunately prop lines can move very quickly.

@icemantbi

You're not wrong, but as @MRxKrazz said, "If it was always this easy…. We would all be rich!"

@Ravensfan2k3

Lol that's real cute of you. Now go to mommy for your milk and nap. Good night.

@Ravensfan2k3

Sure about that? Even the Cavs who have lost 3 in a row are -11.5 against the Pistons, who are a better team than the Hornets.. Granted, they are at home... Not to mention Kings are -12.5 away versus the Nets. Nuggets are -9.5 against the Bulls... Bucks are even -9.5 against the Jazz with a total at 237.5...

I know this isn't exactly how spreads are created, and there are other factors to consider, but I feel like I can treat the Lakers and their competition similarly.

But as others have mentioned, there are some trending factors here to consider, which seems more plausible to factor in.

@Drake-The-Snake

Great points - While their contributions don't look like much on the surface, I think these guys played their role very well in the win against the Celtics.

@chicubs09

For sure... Am I the only one who lost a bit of respect for Jimmy with this whole charade? I used to have so much respect for him, and truly believe he was an amazing player... Not sure how things got so sour like this.

By the way, Go Cubs Go! 

@Eprince

LOL! Ok, I'm sorry. Caught a "case of the Mondays" 

@Jackcoke

Wow. While I can't verify this at the moment of responding to you, this is the type of insight I am looking for. Thank you.

@DeaconPalmer

Totally agree with this. NBA is so unpredictable since players don't seem to want to be competitive day in and day out.

*EDIT*

I'd say Lakers -9.5 or -10.5

@Ravensfan2k3

I'd say -11.5 Lakers.

Why? This looks like a double digit win for them. Hornets are not good at all. Their most recent wins came across a New Orleans team without Dejounte Murray, Dallas without Luka, and my Bulls who are not good a team. A loss to the Blazers is laughable.

I see a blowout, even with an older Lakers squad, who seem to be getting crap together.

It seems "too good to be true", but once again, could be a trap line.

Thank you for giving us the news. Is there supposed to be some sort of rhetoric behind this? 

Hello Covers,

Not an amateur gambler, but somewhat in-between novice and intermediate here.

Lakers -5 looks enticing, but obviously it looks "too good to be true", right? Well, depends who you ask, because at the end of the day, Vegas is still Vegas.

On the surface, this line looks like a trap, so can someone give some insightful information here on why I shouldn't take this?

Let's go... And by the way, thanks in advance for any real, meaningful input.

@leventis72

Bro I can't believe my book had this off for the entire week to barely offer it at 27.5... Probably no play at that number, right? Or how do you feel? Part of me feels like he can go LONG.

So sad when an NBA team can't even score 101 points in today's league 

So what does any of this mean?

@LuckyBros

Nope
