The Lakers (1-0 SU, 1-0 ATS) made it to the NBA finals last season before losing to Boston.  Kobe, Gasol and all the usual suspects are back this year  including the return of center Andrew Bynum, who didn’t play after mid-January last season due to a knee injury.  Bynum scored 8-points and grabbed 3 rebounds on Tuesday against the Trailblazers.

The Clippers have a number of new faces this season after Elton Brand signed a 5-year, $82 million deal with Philadelphia on July 9.  After losing their best player, the Clippers signed former All-Star Baron Davis who grew up in Los Angeles and went to UCLA.  Davis signed a 5-year, $65 million deal to give the Clippers a playmaker at point guard.

The Clippers can only hope Davis and the newly rebuilt team will have better luck against the Lakers than last year’s team. The Lakers won all 4 meetings with the Clippers last season by an average of 26.0 points.

So who covers the spread in tonight’s game?  Why not let FiveStarPick.com help you with the answer?  Aren’t you tired of getting cold called by services that tell you about their 750,000 star play that’s a guaranteed winner. Here is a bit of advice…NOTHING is guaranteed when you are betting on sports.  These so called “handicappers” call 500 people on a Saturday morning and give them all a free play; 250 people will get the Lakers +9 and 250 will get the Clippers -9.  After the game ends, they call back the 250 people who won and pitch them on charging thousands of dollars to their credit cards for more guaranteed winners.   We are not your typical sports handicapping service.  We care about our members and we live and die on every play. Why?  Because we are moving thousands of dollars of our own money on the same plays we give you. Gambling on sports is how we make our living.  Do we win every play?  Absolutely not and we will never pretend to.  Our plays are always posted for all to see, including our losing streaks. But by the end of the year we always seem to have a few hundred thousand dollars of the sportsbook’s money in our casino account.  Let us try and do the same for you.  Join our family of winners today and start your winning streak tonight.
