Result: Win
10* Lakers moneyline (WEST-CONF GOM)

We like the Lakers to defend home court. The general betting public has been quick to back the Suns in this one, but we're going full on contrarian for this pick. LA is off the 119-107 road loss at Denver to open the year, while Phoenix managed an upset 108-104 win at Golden State as a 3-point dog. These teams played in their final preseason contest against each other, and the Suns scored the 123-100 victory. The Lakers dropped their final three pre-season games and their opener, but we're expecting "home floor" to finally be the difference-maker for AD and company. We really respect what KD and the Suns did to the Warriors in their opener, but with three straight at home after this, we think the visitors also get caught "looking ahead." Lay the points, the play is LA to win the game.
