The Lakers have been on quite a run, but last night they lost Andrew Bynum (13.2 ppg, 10.2 rpg). They will miss his 64% shooting and shot blocking inside. You could see the immediate change in the Lakers’ offense as they scored 61 in the first half, but just 39 in the second half without Bynum. The Lakers have been an offensive machine at home scoring 112 ppg in their last 12, but significantly less on the road at 103.7 ppg, where six of their last seven totals posted at 200+ have now gone UNDER. The Sonics simply do not let games get into high gear. They have played UNDER in 15 of 20 with a posted total of 200+. Since Thanksgiving they have actually played 10 of 11 totals posted at 200+, with the one game that did go over, doing so by a slim 1.5 points! The 10 totals that have gone under have averaged doing so by 17 ppg! Great spot for value here tonight with a Sonics team that has played seven straight UNDERS with games scoring an average of 186 ppg, and no combined scores over 200.
