[MAL VAN VALKENBURG Review-Journal, 36-26-2 (overall record)]

Today’s best bet: L.A. Lakers-SEATTLE SUPERSONICS (under 210)

This is a play more against the Sonics than the Lakers. In their past five games, the Sonics have averaged 83.8 points per game and are on a streak of seven straight unders. The Lakers are playing in their fifth game in the past seven days. The Lakers average 105 points on the road. If the Lakers get a big lead, expect to see the bench empty in the second half.
