NBA Picks & Predictions for Tuesday, November 16, 2010
By Drew Sharper
The L.A. Lakers head East on Tuesday night as they take on the Milwaukee Bucks at 8PM ET.
The Lakers are 8-2 on the season but have lost their last two games. L.A. is 2-1 on the road this season and 1-0 against the Eastern Conference. Milwaukee is 5-5 on the year, having won three straight. The Bucks are 3-2 at home but just 1-4 against the West.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook BroburySports.com have made the Lakers a 3.5-point favorite at Milwaukee. The over/under has been set at 193. Here are some trends to consider and my pick for tonight’s game:
Los Angeles Lakers vs. Milwaukee Bucks, 8PM ET
The home team is 5-2 against the spread in the last seven games in this series and the Lakers are just 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine meetings with the Bucks and 0-4 ATS in their last four games at Milwaukee.
The under has hit in 13 of the last 16 Tuesday games for Milwaukee and also in five of their last six games against the Western Conference.
