Mal Van Valkenburg, Review-Journal, 57-43-3 (overall record)
Today's best bet: Phoenix Suns-LOS ANGELES LAKERS (over 196)
Seven of the last eight meetings have gone over 199 points. The Lakers have been averaging 106 points in their past five games, but so have the Suns. Los Angeles is giving up 97 points and Phoenix is allowing 101. Andrew Bynum is expected to miss this game. That will open up the middle for the Suns.
