This is 10* TOP X-MAS DAY TOTAL on the UNDER Nets/Lakers.

I base my totals on situations and strong trends. I think this total is just too high, as I expect the last thing the Lakers to do here is to try and turn this into a "shootout" and hang with the Nets.

Both teams have several key/main players out with COVID issues. That's not going to help the offensive chemistry for either.

This is a BIG game for the struggling Lakers. LA has been one of the best defensive teams in the league the last two years, but it's struggled in that department this season.

Here's a great chance to try and get back on track on the national stage. I expect A LOT more defense to be played than what this sky-high total is suggesting.

The play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
