Portland at Los Angeles

Premium Pick

Los Angeles is just 9-14 ATS this season and it has lost seven of nine and many of them were blowouts although the Lakers did keep it close while losing 134-132 at Atlanta on Friday. Now they are laying too many points given their recent showings and this is their first home game following four road games in six days. That's a bad scheduling situation for a team that is 2-9 ATS its past 11 games and 0-5 ATS its past five versus the Northwest Division. The Lakers have not gotten the money their past five home games and they will be a tired team playing tonight. Grab the points with the Trail Blazers.
