Lakers (-7.5) @ Bucks 189 Total
(-7.5 line) The Lakers have a tendency to take it easy on the road after a victory and they are just 10-32 ATS as a road favorite of 4 points or more following a victory when they are visiting a team with a win percentage of greater than .267, including 0-1 this year (at Phoenix) and 1-8 last year. I'll at least lean against the Lakers when they're in the situation until they prove that they can motivate themselves when visiting lesser teams following a win.
(189 Total) The Lakers tend to play higher scoring games on the road and they have a strong tendency to get slower paced teams playing their up-tempo style. As a result, the Lakers are 33-7-1 OVER the total in road games in which the Over/Under Total is less than 192 points. That's certainly a good enough reason to lean with the OVER in this game, as long as the total is less than 192 points which it is, at 189
Prediction?: Lakers 105....Bucks 101
