Looking ahead here, every season I have games that are circled that I will automatically bet on.  Tomorrow is one of them. 

Wednesday Lakers visit Indiana on a back to back game.  This will be there 5th game on their 8 game trip.  It will also be there 5th game on the road in 7 days.  Lakers are only 3-6 at Conseco Fieldhouse.  Historically this is the toughest place for the Lakers to win or should I say against all teams, Lakers have the lowest winning percentage in Indiana. 

Now I know many of you will say, well in the past those were different teams so it doesn't apply.  That is true, but when the Lakers play in places such as Indiana, Utah, Portland, they just struggle there.  Regardless of personnel.  What you can see from the last several years is for the most part, the Lakers have had the better team yet still manage to struggle in Indiana. 

I tried digging out the actual winning percentage of the Lakers in Indiana but failed to find it.  If my memory serves me correct the Lakers franchise winning percentage is under .200 at Indiana the lowest against any team.

So whatever the line is tomorrow, Lakers -8 or -7 or whatever, I will be taking the points along with the moneyline.
