NBA Betting Predictions March 18th

My season record to date now sits at (36-47) for -14.70 units after the Spurs lost a close one to the Mavs.

What a terrific March Madness so far. First time a number 15 seed has knocked off a 2 seed since 2001, and its happened twice.

Utah Jazz @ Los Angeles Lakers

Since the All-Star break I’ve really felt like the Lakers have been playing up to their potential. They still have a incredibly productive Kobe, and the best frontcourt in the NBA. I think they’ve been winning more recently because they are finally utilizing this frontcourt the way they should be. Andrew Bynum is turning out to be a scoring maching, especially in the crunch time. With Kobe actually passing to Bynum and Gasol this team seems almost unstoppable. I also really like their addition of Ramon Sessions from Cleveland, for basically nothing. Sessions gives the Lakers a legitimate point guard who can score in bunches and make some fancy passes too. Having Sessions instead of Fisher frees up Kobe to just worry about scoring and a little less about making his own shots. Utah didn’t make any trades at the deadline and playing an away game in LA doesn’t bode well for them.
