Expect fireworks in the last NBA game on the board tonight. The Lakers last five games have seen an average of more than 240 total points scored. Portland is not far behind at 237 and that’s after a low-scoring 105-95 loss to Philadelphia on Thursday.

There are only three teams in the league that give up more points/game than the Lakers. Those are: Charlotte, Detroit and San Antonio.

Additionally, the Lakers play at the third fastest tempo in the league, which means more possessions.

After an awful shooting night against the 76ers, you should look for the Blazers to bounce back offensively.

The Over is 12-3 when the Lakers face a sub-.500 team. Portland comes in at 21-24 on the year. 10*
