The Lakers have been every efficient at home, with a 13-6 record, and have been well-rested, playing their third straight home game, while on the other hand, the Nets are on their 5th stop of a road trip. There is no way I’m taking this struggling Nets team to cover any spread, so take the Los Angeles Lakers and lay the points at home.
