#555/556 ASA FREE PLAY ON Under 213.5, Utah vs LA Lakers, Saturday at 4:40 PM ET - This total opened way too high at 219 and has since dropped to 214. While we’ve lost value, we still think the Under is the play here. We have 2 of the top defensive teams in the NBA facing off in this one with the Lakers ranked #1 allowing 106 points per 100 possessions and Utah sitting at #4 allowing 108 points per 100 possessions. They both average less than 100 possessions per 48 minutes so their pace is middle of the pack by NBA standards. The key here is all of the offensive weapons that are missing in this game. Utah is without leading scorer Donovan Mitchell (26 PPG) who was injured in their most recent game and will miss some time. The Lakers remain without LeBron, AD, and now recent acquisition Andre Drummond along Morris and Gasol are all questionable. These 2 met in February when at full strength and only tallied 203 total points. These 2 have combined to go Under the total in over 57% of their games this year and we like a low scoring affair on Saturday afternoon.
