AAA's SITUATIONAL ATS BEATDOWN (UNLOAD w/ CONFIDENCE!)
(NBA) LA Lakers vs. Dallas, 01/22/2017 10:30 AM, Score: 73 - 122
Point Spread: 5.50 | -100.00 LA Lakers (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* BEATDOWN on the LA Lakers.

REASONING: The Lakers broke a five-game skid with a convincing 108-96 win over the Pacers on Friday night. We had LA in that one. The Mavs enter off two straight losses, most recently a deflating 112-107 setback in OT at home to the Jazz on Friday. To say this is a revenge game would be a big understatement as Dallas has taken 12 straight in the series, including a 101-89 victory on the road back on December 29th. LA shot 47.1 percent from the floor in the win over Indiana. Note the Lakers are ranked 17th in scoring at 104.7 PPPG. LA though allows 110.2 per night. Dallas' offense though is atrocious in averaging a league worst 96 PPG. The Mavs are also last in rebounding. Note though that Dallas is pretty good defensively in allowing 100.7 PPG. We're expecting LA to build off its last performance and while we wouldn't be shocked by an outright upset, we definitely feel there are enough factors working in favor of the visitors to pull the trigger. Play on the LAKERS.
