NBA Plays, opinions welcome

Hey Guys,

Local lottery has odds set the night before which I play off of. Here are the lines they offering:

Atl -5.5
Phi -1.5
LAL -8.5

Need to parlay at least 2 tickets to make a ticket. Payout is 2.5 - 1. If you parlay all 3, payout is 5-1.

Taking Atl -5.5, Phi -1.5.

Not 100% sold on the last game but would like to add the 3rd game. If I played it, I would likely take Utah +8.5.

Will the Lakers cover the 8.5? Are they resting their players? Will Utah play hard. Any helpful opinions would be appreciated.

I'm taking the Jazz and hoping it will be closer than the line suggested. Jazz has been playing poorly and I think they should be playing hard tonite to prepare for the playoff. I could see the lakers resting their players early.

bynum said this yesterday... We’re going into (Tuesday’s game) trying to send them a message,” Lakers center Andrew Bynum said.


Take it for what it's worth, but Utah is pathetic on the road and if kobe and pau play the whole first half utah may be too far down to come out of it...I think 2nd half plays tonight are where the money is at
