Message: [QUOTE="john_entony, post: 7090628, member: 1020707"] NBA Charlotte Hornets @ Los Angeles Lakers: [B]Charlotte Hornets (+ 12.5) /// 1.85[/B] Last bet lost. 5 days of suffering are over! 2 college basketball predictions, 1 AHL prediction, 1 NBA All-Star Game prediction, and 1 NHL National Teams mini-tournament prediction is what I bet on. As a result, 2 losses on college basketball, 2 wins on hockey, and 1 win in the All-Star game, but that was stolen by the referees again. But thankfully, the NBA regular season is back today! My betting score is MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NBA 139-168 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 7-16 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL 4-11 in favor of unsuccessful. New bet: Charlotte Hornets on the road won't lose to Los Angeles Lakers by more than 12 points. Today I'm betting against the team I root for in the NBA. Honestly, the Lakers' chances are overrated. First of all, it's unclear if LeBron James will play since he missed the All-Star game! I don't think LeBron just didn't want to participate in All-Star Weekend. It's highly likely he has an injury. Second, the Lakers will have a back-to-back and the second game will be against Portland on the road. Which game is more important for James to participate in? The answer is obvious (spoiler - it's the game against the Trail Blazers, of course). Third, Luka Doncic! I saw both games against Utah and it was awful! Luka Doncic visually looks like a 45 year old heavyweight boxer, not a basketball player. The game against Charlotte will be even more difficult for the Slovenian, as the Hornets play at a very high pace. Doncic is unlikely to play more than 30 minutes (yes, I know that the Lakers have removed the minutes restriction), as the back-to-back with Portland is ahead, and Luka will be needed much more in that game. Fourth, Charlotte has a near optimal roster. Yes, LaMello Ball and Mark Williams will play, and we may even see Jusuf Nurkic as a back-up center. Fifth, the Lakers have beaten Charlotte by more than 12 points in only 2 of their last 10 games. So yes, I see the Lakers winning here, but somewhere in the 6 to 12 point range. Bet? Sure! :cool:;) [/QUOTE]
