Recap:
Bron popped off. It took some time but it hit. Not the best first half but then he took over in the second. I was worried I should have just taken LA but luckily both hit. He hit 30 just like I said. I wish my book had that alt line. The Lakers got that late timeout just as expected how the league needs them in the tourney. Love it. The positivity continues.
Lock:Â Lakers -2 vs Pelicans 1u to win 0.9u
Groundbreaking Analysis:
The league isn’t stopping in the quarterfinals and I am not complaining. Lakers win this game. You can tell the Lakers are playing different ball in the tourney. They have consistently beaten the Pelicans in recent years. That doesn’t change tonight. Lakers are going to get the calls and they are going to put on a show in Vegas. The future home of LeBron and he is going to get this W. The viewership difference of New Orleans vs LA/LeBron is astronomical and the refs won’t let that happen. The league is going to look so smart with LeBron vs Giannis in the first ever final. Viewership will be insane and it just has to happen. Give me the LakeShow.
Unbiased Stats:
Pelicans are 5-11 in L16 against LA
Lakers are 10-4 in L14
Lakers are 4-1 ATS in L5 played in December
