Seattle at Los Angeles

While Seattle has played low scoring games for most of the season, they aare allowing 103 points per game and scoring almost 110 in their last five games. I expect this to be an up-tempo game with Chucky Atkins continuing to take up the slack for Kobe. In games in which Seattle attempts 84+ shots over the past three seasons, they have gone OVER 21-6. The Lakers are 8-1 OVER versus good offensive teams (scoring 99+ points/game) and 6-1 OVER when playing against a top-level team (Win Pct. > 70%) this season. Seattle is 54-21 OVER in road games after a division game since 1996 and the Lakers are 38-18 OVER revenging a road loss vs opponent over the last 3 seasons. One star on the OVER here.
