Or, to put it another way, how could you possibly lay -15 on LAL ?

That's a lot of chalk to lay under any circumstances.

I don't think I EVER layed 15 on an NBA game.

Rotoworld:

Brandon Roy's MRI was negative, but he is expected to be out for at least the next two games with a sprained ankle, prompting Nate McMillan to shuffle the Blazers' starting lineup.

Travis Outlaw (SF) and Martell Webster (SG) will probably start, with Jarrett Jack being sent back to the bench. As has been the case over the past few weeks, McMillan cannot seem to make up his mind about Webster and Jack, but Outlaw is now a must-play in most leagues this week. Just keep in mind that McMillan has been known to change his mind. The news on Roy is fantastic, and it sounds like he could possibly play as early as Friday, at home against the Lakers.

I would have to take those points or pass, or maybe a small shot on Portland ML.

I would like to see a record for 15 point + NBA chalk. Way too easy for a team to settle for just a win by 12 or something.

That's a Helluva lot of points in the NBA.

I don't know if stats say to play it or not, but 17-1 on an NBAgame kinda sucks me in.

Gl to you Doug, these always come close but the bad teams fade as the game goes into the second half

Big Hedge for you second half i suppose if both still hold leads

I don't see how anybody could lay -1800 or so, no way I would.

Lakers have been a covering machine this year and have covered their last 8 games.
