Los Angeles Lakers @ Indiana Pacers

Lakers are improving their road record, as they know that they need to be as good on the road as at home in order to obtain some credits to fight for the NBA title. Despite a 8 road games trip, in the middle of it Lakers showed that they are playing well, despite some struggling minutes. Jackson is trying to get more bench minutes to his key players, but that already cost him a win in Toronto. Now, he is giving everything he can to achieve more than 15 points lead, and only then he makes his key players rest. The team his with 1 day off, and will have another day off after this game. The bench players can't struggled so much as they did in the past, and have to prove that they deserve a rotation spot. So, I expect them to manage well the lead they have when they enter the game.

Indiana is with Dunleavy out. Granger is back, but this all star is not so visible when playing against another all starts, because the quality is higher than usual. Their last 2 home games were losses, in it was because they lost the rebounds battle. They can't manage well teams that have size and muscle in the paint, as they only have one good player in the paint, that it's Murphy. But Murphy can't handle properly Bynum, as Bynum is twice the size of Murphy.

So I expect a really easy game to Lakers while they play with their best team, and today his a perfect spot to Gasol shine. Even Kobe will have much more space than usual, and it's always dangerous when that happen. So, even if they bench players can't make the same of Lakers key players, I think the lead at that time will be to high to get in a wrong way.

Pick: Los Angeles Lakers -5.5 -110 (1.91) 5Dimes
