Erik Beimfohr's Trail Blazers vs Lakers Prediction, Betting Analysis
The books are not adjusting quickly enough to Jrue Holiday's performance.
Without Scoot Henderson, Holiday is the starting point guard for the Blazers and is playing a huge role. Holiday has gone over this number in all three games (with an average line of 15.7/5.7/8.3). The Blazers are on a back-to-back, but so are the Lakers, and the Lakers' defense projects to be closer to the bottom of the league, especially in their current form.
