NBA Wagering Lines Lakers vs Bulls

kobe bryantThe Lake Show favored in Windy City

The Los Angeles Lakers longest road trip of the season thus far couldn’t get off to much of a worse start for Kobe Bryant. A visit to the United Center might provide him with the chance to bounce back. Bryant and the Western Conference-leading Lakers visit the struggling Chicago Bulls on Tuesday, trying to rebound from their first loss in 12 games. L.A. is a 10-point road wagering lines favorite and less than 5% of bettors at Sportsbook.com think the Bulls can even stay within that number.
 
Bryant began this five-game road trip after suffering a broken index finger in a home win against Miami on Friday. The finger - and a stomach bug - appeared to significantly affect him in a 102-94 loss at Utah as two-point underdogs on Saturday. Bryant finished with a season-low 16 points on 7-of-24 shooting.
 
Bryant, who is averaging 27.8 points, left without speaking to the media afterward. He was getting IV fluids before the game and at halftime. “I think it was just energy-wise for him,” coach Phil Jackson said. “He’d figure out a way to go at it if he had the energy, but I just don’t think he had the energy.”
 
The loss snapped an 11-game winning streak by the Lakers (18-4, 10-12 ATS), who despite having all five starters finish in double figures, failed to reach 100 points for the fifth time and giving them their fourth spread loss in last six games.
 
Pau Gasol scored 16 points and had his second consecutive 20-rebound game. “I’m just staying active and pursuing the ball,” he said. “I don’t get that many looks offensively so I need to hit the boards to get some points, otherwise I only get like five shots a game.” The Lakers are 25-12 ATS after failing to cover two of their last three against the spread since last season.
 
While it was a tough start to the road trip for the Lakers, the remaining games are far less difficult. All four opponents have losing records, and Chicago (8-14, 5-15-2 ATS) has lost 10 of 12. Los Angeles is 10-0 (6-4 ATS) against teams with sub-.500 records.

The Lakers have won five straight over the Bulls (4-1 ATS), including their last two at Chicago. Bryant in particular has enjoyed playing at the United Center, averaging 26.6 points in his last eight games. Bryant scored 21 points in a 108-93 win at home over Chicago on Nov. 19, which began the Bulls’ current slide.
 
Chicago shot a season-low 32.6 percent in a 106-80 loss to Boston on Saturday. Derrick Rose finished with a team-high 19 points, but scored only eight in the second half when the Bulls were outscored 52-34 by the Eastern Conference leaders.
 
Chicago had snapped a four-game losing streak in its previous game with an overtime win over Golden State. Its last five losses, though, the Bulls have been outscored by an average of 21.8 points while scoring only 85.8 per game and they are easily the best play against team in the NBA this season with only five covers in 22 games. The Bulls are 1-8 ATS revenging a loss this season, losing by miserable 20.3 points per try.
 
The Bulls’ struggles have led to mounting pressure on coach Vinny Del Negro. “We just have to keep playing hard,” Luol Deng said. “I don’t know what else to tell you.”
 
Part of the problem has been their struggles beyond the arc. They were 1 of 9 on Saturday and are shooting 29.5 percent overall from 3-point range - one of the worst in the NBA. John Salmons, who shot 41.5 percent from 3-point range in 2008-09, is shooting only 32.7 percent this season. He scored a season-low four points on Saturday, but did make 3 of 5 from beyond the arc and finished with 18 points against the Lakers last month.
 
After Tuesday, Chicago, who is 6-4 and 2-6-2 ATS on home court, has three more games on its season-long six-game home stand—two against teams with losing records.
 
Sportsbook.com has the Lakers as 10-point wagering lines favorites with total of 193.5. L.A. is 27-14 ATS in road games when playing against a team with a losing record over the last three seasons and 15-3 UNDER off a road loss. The Bulls are 1-10 ATS after playing a game as an underdog and 8-1 UNDER versus good shooting teams making 46 percent or more of their shots this season.

Dallas Mavericks vs New Orleans Hornets Wagering Lines

New Orleans center Tyson Chandler

The New Orleans Hornets host the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night for the first of two NBA wagering double header games at 8:00 PM EST on TNT. New Orleans had their season twisted upside down when center Tyson Chandler was traded to Oklahoma City only to have the Thunder rescind the trade after he failed the physical. New Orleans is a -6 spread favorite and the game has a 193 point over/under.

Chandler returned to the Hornets five games ago and has helped them go 5-0 straight-up with his infusion of rebounding and defense. The downside has been from a betting perspective as they only covered the spread one of those five games.

Dallas has played well at home lately with a five-game winning streak (4-1 ATS) pending the conclusion of their Wednesday night game against San Antonio. The road has been a different story, even though they only played four away games in the last month. Dallas is 0-4 straight-up and ATS including a loss at lowly Oklahoma City on Monday.

Note that the Mavs have been respectable in back-to-back situations, going 5-6 ATS overall, while New Orleans is well rested after last playing on Monday.

The favorite is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meeting betweens the teams which could bode well for the home Hornets.
