5/4 NBA: Phoenix at LA Lakers

[swole]

Coming off a disappointing 114-97 loss in their last game, Los Angeles has a chance to get on the winning track Thursday at home and clinch a first-round upset over Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns.

Kobe Bryant will look to improve on his 29-point performance last game to lift his Lakers into the second round. In order to do this, Bryant will have to ignore taunts from opposing players, as he was ejected for arguing with the referee last game.

Phoenix gets its chance to win as a road dog after the line opened with them as 3-point underdogs. The total opened at 206.5.

Mike D'Antoni's team was busy last game winning against the Lakers 114-97 as 7-point favorites. The 211 points sent that game over the total of 206.5.

Some trends to consider:
Phoenix is 1-8-0 OU in its last 9 games
Phoenix is 1-7-0 OU in its last 8 games against Los Angeles
Phoenix is 1-5-0 ATS in its last 6 games against Los Angeles
Phoenix is 1-4-0 ATS in its last 5 away games
Los Angeles are 7-1-0 ATS in its last 8 home games
Los Angeles are 6-1-0 ATS in its last 7 games
Los Angeles are 5-1-0 ATS in its last 6 games against Phoenix
Los Angeles are 5-1-0 SU in its last 6 games after scoring 90 to 100 points
