Today the second round playoff series between Utah and Los Angeles begins in L.A. This should be a good series, although the Lakers would seem to have an advantage here having been rested and waiting for the Jazz to finish off Houston in a hard-fought 6 game series. On paper, this might seem to be a high-scoring, fast-paced type of matchup, but I see it being more of a defensive chess game.
The Lakers were able to hold the Nuggets to aboout 105 points a game in their series. The Nuggets averaged over 110 points a game throughout the regular season. The Jazz have just finished beating Houston in the first round holding them to just over an average of 87 points per game. I'm thinking that both teams will have their focus on defense in this series, at least until they have had time to feel each other out some and design their offensive strategy. The Lakers are rested since their series ended last Monday and this should give them an advantage on the defensive end of the court. Going to go with the under with the total at 213.
