WRAP UP FROM LAST NIGHT

Game: Lakers at Bulls
Pick: Bulls -2.5
Final: Lakers 103 Bulls 91
Stars: 10

The weird thing about this game is that when I labeled this as my biggest play of the year, all of my reasons stayed true. One of the biggest reasons I took this was because I knew that Kobe Bryant would not be the same man on the floor last night because of a nagging groin injury and the emergence of Luol Deng slowly becoming one of the league's best lockdown defenders. You could have never told me that if Kobe scored 18 points and Fisher only got 10 the Bulls would still lose this game. The Lakers beat them at there own game, the offensive boards. Bulls came in as the best offensive rebounding teams but got wiped out 17 to 7 in that department.

Game: Raptors at Clippers
Pick: Under 187
Stars: 3
Final Score: Raptors 80 Clippers 77

An ugly game for both teams only combining for 157 points. Might have taken 4 OT's to put this game over. Neither team was able to shoot 40% from the field and were both terrible from 3 point territory leading to an easy under.
