Los Angeles

The Thunder pounced on L.A. the last time they tangled so this is definitely a look ahead opportunity.  Especially with Golden State as low as it has been all season.

When you think about the Lakers you immediately think of guard Kobe Bryant.  Meanwhile center Andrew Bynum is having a spectacular season averaging a double-double while shooting almost 60% and contributing a couple of blocks a game.  

He scored 30 points last game but scored just 9 when these two teams last met.  

With the composition of the Warriors roster it is hard to see how he will be moved out of the paint. [soliloquy id=”82219″]

Golden State

Last week I wrote about how lame the Golden State Warriors lineup was and then it took another hit with guard Nate Robinson, who is no John Stockton at the point, is now on the shelf.  

Forward David Lee is still chugging along, cranking out performances like his 16 points/16 rebound effort on Sunday, but the rest of the team is a complete mystery.  

Nobody really has much of a track record.

Who is Charles Jenkins?  Answer:  A husky first year combo guard from Hofstra who just scored a career high 27 points, almost double his previous career high.  

Jenkins was a big scorer at Hofstra so more games like this could be in the offing. The way this team is composed he is as good an option as any for this team.  

He has to just get sharper in taking care of the ball.  He also needs to speed up the tempo, this team got only 4 fast break points against Portland last game.

Spread Pick:  Lakers -6
O/U Pick:  Under
Score Prediction:  Los Angeles 94 – Golden State 84
