Question When Will The Lakers Cover A Game?

7 straight or maybe 8 in a row they have failed to cover the number. I have not bet nba at all really, and this brought me to my attention after like the 5th game and laker lovers getting beat night after night. They are winning games, but just not in usual blowout fashion like the Cavs have been doing. I think this might be a good spot to start taking them to cover. Just a train of thought, but the Lakers should be a team to watch in the upcoming weeks.

lol didnt cover against them couple of nights ago.

as long as they are double digit favs, keep fading them. Starting to remind me of when the Pats didn't cover a spread the last 2 months of the season

I've been pounding against the Lakers for the past week. They are my favorite team; however they've been horrible ATS lately. Most people aren't seeing this, which means we're seeing some favorable lines for those of us willing to ride with the dog.

What is their streak at now for not covering?

Very rare in US pro sport for a team to go this long without covering.

doubt they cover against memphis next, They are usually undervalued at home to begin with, and then they'll get an extra 2-3 pts because of the lakers name.

The opening line is -10.5. Memphis is bad, but I love getting the home dog w/ 10.5.
