Good value on Lakers
Man we disagree again lol. Memphis at about -130 is a steal. Lakers aren't that good. Nobody on that team showed up yesterday except for 3 players. They'll get rolled by a very good Memphis team. The only reason that series line is so low is because the public loves putting their money on the Lakers for some reason. They have no chance to win that series. Memphis is a fast pace team. They'll run the old Lakers out of the gym.

It should be a close series, but the new look Lakers are the better team IMO. They have a lot of answers for Memphis on the perimeter now, and should be able to get a lot of good looks going to the basket.

I don’t think Memphis will be able to push the pace much since Lakers won’t try to take too many 3’s and should have some success with LeBron/AD sets going to the bucket

Memphis with out question. The old plodding Lakers will be lucky to get 1 game at home.

Memphis in 5.

Would feel better about Lakers if it was the Nuggets tbh, think this is a tougher series for them

memphis is way better, lakers are only that short because of the big names. Memphis and Kings are only series bets I see with any value. Maybe brooklyn as well (dont trust 76ers).

Not really. Lakers have the defensive personnel now that can neutralize their shooting quite a bit. Morant really the only one that I see them creating issues off the dribble.

Think you get a muckier series, slower pace which obviously favors Lakers.

Lakers ain't beating Denver either...

Laughable that the Lakers make a few moves that make them a better than .500 team and now the media loses its mind as if they are a championship team. This is around a 5 seed team if this was their roster all season.

They will be out round 1. No question. Lebron has a tough run in play offs when he has a superior team let alone a so so one...

Shocked Lakers are +105. They should be around +225-+250

Seriously? Lol. One of the worst teams on the road in the league against a team with home court who is the best team on the road in the entire Western Conference. I think its funny everyone is overlooking the Kings at better than 2-1 odds as the higher seed.
"the worst team on the road in the league" in regular season. Hehe... regular season is over, man. Forget about this time. Now is playoff time and is is not about offence. Good bye, Kings =(

Disagree. Jokic gets absolutely obliterated by AD pretty much every time they play. Denver not much dribble penetration ability to challenge the much improved Lakers defense

Denver struggling quite a bit in general. They should win their first series now, but it likely ends there

Grizzlies basically about the same as last year. JJJ has improved I guess, but guys like Dillon Brooks still suck

They talk a lot of talk for not winning shit.
