Moneyline • Los Angeles Lakers

Okay, so I’m oddly confident on Los Angeles Lakers --125 — I mean, it feels right? I can see them grinding this one out, but also I’m the kind of person who triple-checks the ticket five minutes before tipoff, so take that for what it’s worth. The --125 line implies a modest favorite, so expect a fairly tight game where the Lakers are favored to make the decisive plays late rather than blow it open early. No promises here — bet responsibly and maybe don’t listen to me if I start pacing.
