Doc’s Sports says to take Portland/LA Lakers UNDER 195 ½ (10:30 PM EST, Tuesday) One thing that not a lot of people realize about the Lakers is that they actually started playing pretty decent defense down the stretch of the NBA season. Everyone thinks of this as an offense-only team but they have one of the best defensive players in the league in Kobe Bryant and they have emphasized defense even more in the offseason, evidently realizing that strong defensive clubs are the ones hoisting the NBA Trophy at the end of the Finals. Portland’s M.O. last season was that they were very solid on defense and not too flashy on offense and we expect them to continue to be a solid under play this season.

Jimmy Boyd’s free pick is on LA Lakers -7.5
The Lakers will waste no time washing the sour taste of a NBA Finals defeat out of their mouth tonight. While Portland gets to have Greg Oden on the court this season, he will be neutralized tonight by the twin towers of Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol. And then there’s Kobe Bryant, who the Blazers will have no answer for tonight. Portland scored just 92.9 points per game on the road last season while LA averaged 109.2 at home. The Blazers don’t have the explosiveness to stick with LA tonight. Lay the points.
