These teams have one of the biggest rivalries in recent history and as such we expect fireworks from the word go. However, the meeting between these teams could not have come at a worst or better time depending on which team you support. Lakers in their last game were thrashed 136:94 by a rampant Indiana team, who were not expected to mount much of a challenge. The thrashing was Lebron James biggest loss in terms of point differential and it's interesting to see how he responds after the defeat. To be frank I don't expect much from Lakers given the out of play troubles and challenges. Lakers, in a bid to get Davis have offered almost the entire team roster to Pelican, this in itself can be interpreted as a lack of trust and betrayal on the proposed players by Lakers management and you can bet the Morale will be low. On the other hand, Lakers have had a coup in getting Reggie Bullock a proven player and thus there is no doubt he will improve the team if he plays Today. The uncertainty of Davis, however, will likely impact lakers mentality in this game given both Celtic and Lakers have an interest in him. I thus don't expect a high scoring game and thus will opt for over 215. Under other circumstances, I would be betting on over 230
