Super Tuesday (Gasol Debut): LA LAKERS (30-16) vs. NJ NETS (20-27)
Super Tuesday? Yeah, that voting thing, but also because Pau Gasol is expected to start in the center position tonight in his first game suited up as a Laker. He will give the Lakers a much different look (and a different look himself wearing a Laker jersey, but the same #16), after the Lakers took care of Washington and Toronto with no problem, with the help of the great playing of Kobe Bryant; and that's the key, Pau will be playing with the best player in the league...Kobe Bryant, and this should only elevate his game. Gasol is averaging 20.7 points and shooting 55.6 percent in his last three games against New Jersey.
One of the things bringing the Lakers down is the amount of injuries, take a look at the Lakers injury report:
INJURY REPORT
Trevor Ariza: Fractured Foot - Out
Andrew Bynum: Left Patella Subluxation - Out
Pau Gasol: Sore Back - DTD
Chris Mihm: Right Ankle Bursitis - Out
Lamar Odom: Bruised Shin - Probable
Vladimir Radmanovic: Sprained Right Ankle - Probable
Luke Walton: Right Hip Pointer - DTD
While most are betting on their candidate to win, here's something else to bet on...here's the line:
LA Lakers SPREAD -7-110 MONEYLINE -320 OVER/UNDER 209-110
New Jersey Nets SPREAD 7-110 MONEYLINE 260 OVER/UNDER 209-110
