Lakers News: Should We Bet On 4 Straight Wins At Crypto.com Arena?
Your Los Angeles Lakers are hoping to win their fourth consecutive home game tonight when they square off against the New York Knicks, who'll be playing their second straight game at Crypto.com Arena.
Though the Knicks have the better record, LA is just on a bit of a heater right now. So what do the oddsmakers think will happen? Let's take a look at some odds and lines, per The Action Network.
The Game Spread
For the first time in several games, the Lakers are actually favored to win at home! That's the kind of adjustment Vegas makes after you win three straight. The Action Network reports that the aggregated over/under for the night is set at two points in LA's favor.
D'Angelo Russell's Total Points
D-Lo has quietly had quite the go of it in his four complete games as a Laker (I'm not counting the Golden State Warriors contest, which he had to depart in the first quarter), averaging 20 points and 6.5 dimes a night. The Action Network is less bullish on his prospects tonight than I am. His over/under is set at 16.5 points for the night. Take the over and watch him shine.
Anthony Davis' Total Combined Steals + Blocks
Across his past 10 games, Davis has been averaging 2.8 blocks and 0.3 steals a night. His expected cumulative steals and blocks against the Knicks is listed at 2.5. New York's starter center, Mitchell Robinson, is a solid finisher around the rim, but provided Davis is on his game, Robinson will be no match for the eight-time All-Star. Take Davis to cover.
