This is a 1* FREE PLAY on the OVER in the Lakers/Blazers.

I had the Blazers in their victory over the Lakers in Game 1 and that turned out to be an outright winner. That was a "client" play at Picks and Parlays.net (https://www.picksandparlays.net/cappers/83).

Then in Game 2 I gave out a FREE VIDEO PLAY on the Blazers (VIEW THAT HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eETYHyNaqmc&list=PLqxg27VWiD79eVxxtHWOsmp5WWJ3frjrl&index=10) and that was unfortunately a loser. The Lakers hadn't shown me anything to that point which made me feel confident that they had any chemistry at all to accomplish a bounce back vs. what I felt would be a very focussed Blazers team. Portland was playing at such a high level going into that one and a "letdown" was bound to happen at some point, I just didn't think it was going to be in Game 2.

For handicappers/bettors, much like good playoff teams, when betting on or handicapping the playoffs, "making adjustments" to your approach is necessary for success obviously. If you had one line of reasoning going into a series and something happens to completely change that, being flexible and not stubborn in your approach in the following contest is crucial in my opinion.

But for Game 3, I'm steering away from the side and targetting the total, as after the first two games of this series have fallen well below the posted number, I think Game 3 will blast past the posted number early in the fourth. Note that both of these first two games for the Lakers have been 30 pts below their regular season averages.

Note as well that previous to these first two playoff games going "under" the number, these two teams had played to three straight "overs."

In my opinion, Game 3 of this series screams "over."

Good luck, NP
