Merril’s Lakers at Jazz Picks

December 12, 2009

Steve Merril is on an incredible 26-12 run as he continues to help his clients cash in over the books.  In the NBA there is nobody better at producing winning NBA picks on a nightly basis, now at 55-31 (64%) over his last 86.  If you are looking for someone to help you beat the NBA point spreads on a nightly basis then look no further than this expert handicapper.  Last night he was one of the few out there who was on the Jazz to beat the Lakers in front of their home crowd, and they came through yet again.  Let’s see why he was zeroed in on this game:

The Jazz possess one of the strongest home court edges in the league and this advantage is amplified when an opponent is playing without rest in the thin air and altitude of Salt Lake City.  That will be the case tonight for the Lakers as they just played in Los Angeles last night and Kobe Bryant suffered a broken finger which could leave him less than healthy tonight.

Utah is 10-3 SU (9-4 ATS) at home this season compared to just 3-6 SU/ATS on the road.  The Jazz are coming off a solid 120-111 home underdog win versus a strong Orlando squad on Thursday and the Jazz should carry the momentum into tonight’s game.  This is also a quick revenge situation for Utah as they just lost at Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The Lakers cruised to an easy 101-77 win over the Jazz in that game.  Utah actually held a 52-48 halftime lead, but got out-scored 53-25 in the second half.  And the Jazz were embarrassed in the fourth quarter as they scored a total of just 6 points.  They remember that awful effort, and on their strong home court tonight, expect a much better performance in this revenge spot.
