NBA Wednesday 11/4

Pacers/Knicks OVER 223 (3 UNITS)

Grizzlies/Warriors OVER 223.5 (3 UNITS)

Los Angeles Lakers -1.5 @ Houston Rockets (5 UNITS)

I'm going to disregard last night's overtime win over Oklahoma City. I feel this is a very strong play because this is actually a game the lakers can get motivated for. It's common knowledge Kobe Bryant feeds off of motivation and he certainly has it here. The Rockets pushed the lakers to 7 games in the conference semifinals as huge underdogs and raised questions to the lakers determination. In the offseason these teams basically swapped small forwards Ron Artest and Trevor Ariza... Ariza has started exceptionally well this season but will draw defensive assignments from Ron Artest and Kobe Bryant. Don't expect Kobe to let Trevor Ariza to show up his team. Also don't see anybody who will match up with Andrew Bynum tonight.

Phoenix Suns @ Orlando Magic -8 (1 UNIT)

Lakers/Rockets UNDER 202 (1 UNIT)

Nuggets/Nets UNDER 199 (1 UNIT)

I like the lakers play. This will be the first time I believe that the Lakers actually cover the spread. GL
