10* TOTAL ASSASSIN (+$58K NBA RUN!)
(NBA) LA Lakers vs. Utah,
Total: 226.00 | 101.00 Under
Result: Loss
10* UNDER (ASSASSIN)

The Lakers are now on the outside of the playoffs looking in. It's going to be an uphill battle the rest of the way for the Lakers this season. Is LeBron James playing tonight for LA? Who is playing for the Lakers? That changes on an almost day to day basis. Even if "The King" does suit up here, I'm expecting a very defensive affair. LA needs this win, but the last thing it can do here is try to turn this into a run and gun shootout with the Jazz. LA is off back-to-back losses, falling 116-108 to New Orleans, and then 128-110 to the Mavericks. Utah will be in the playoffs, but it can't be happy with its recent play either, as it's lost 5 in a row (note though that Utah has seen the total go "under" the number in 7 of its last 10 after 5 or more SU/ATS losses in a row.) This is an important game for each side, and I look for both to double down on the defensive end; the play is the under!
