BIG AL MCMORDIE
BIG AL's 80% ATS NBA WINNER (OFF 3-0 SWEEP)!
At 10:35 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Lakers minus the points over Dallas. The Mavericks are a perfect example of a "paper tiger." On the surface, with a 52-21 record, Dallas looks like a threat to win the title. And it's won 25 of its last 31 games. But check out who the six losses were against: Denver, Memphis, New Orleans, LA Lakers, Portland and San Antonio. What do those six teams have in common? They are all Western Conference Playoff teams, at the moment. Dallas hasn't defeated a Western Conference Playoff team since way back on January 19th! That doesn't bode well for tonight. And neither does the fact that the Lakers are the best (and hottest) team in the league with 15 wins in their last 16 games. Moreover, the Lakers have a huge scheduling advantage, in that the Mavericks played last night vs. the Clippers, while L.A. has had the previous three days off to rest. Although the Mavericks have won and covered their last three games -- each as a road favorite -- .666 (or better) NBA teams off 3 SU/ATS wins as a road favorite have covered just 20% of the time since 1991 vs. foes off back to back Wins. Take the Lakers in a blowout. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
