NBA | Lakers vs Bulls
Play on: Bulls +1 -105 at BetOnline
Maybe in the long run LeBron James will be proven right in his decision to sign with the Lakers. But it sure didn't happen this season. The Lakers are 30-36. They have fewer victories than the Orlando Magic and are not making the playoffs. The Lakers were sunk by multiple injuries to their best players, including James missing 17 games, Luke Walton's questionable coaching and morale that became destroyed when it was rumored the Lakers would be willing to deal any of their players except James for Anthony Davis. Still, shouldn't the Lakers be able to beat the Bulls, who are the fourth-worst team in the NBA behind the Knicks, Suns and Cavaliers. Yes - if the Lakers had their second, third and fourth-best players and James wasn't having his minutes cut back. But LA is without injured Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball. Kyle Kuzman may not play either having missed the past two games with an ankle injury. James hasn't been able to lift this disgruntled and disappointed crew. The Lakers are 4-10 since he returned from a groin injury. The Lakers have lost and failed to cover in their last five games of which the last three were at home. Somtimes getting away from home can actually be a good thing. There is no evidence of that, however, for the Lakers. They are 0-5 SU and ATS during their past five road games with losses to the Suns, Grizzlies, Pelicans, Hawks and 76ers. Four of those teams are lottery bound. These Lakers now give a majority of playing time to such non-luminaries as Moe Wagner, Alex Caruso and Jonathan Williams. All three of those guys played more minutes than James in the Lakers' last game. Want some trends? OK, the Lakers are 5-20-1 ATS in their last 26 games versus Eastern Conference opponents. The Lakers also are 2-10-1 ATS the past 13 times when meeting a foe with a below .400 winning percentage. The flip side of this handicap is can the Bulls play well enough to win? I'm not expecting Zach LaVine to play. He has been the Bulls' best player. LaVine has a strained patellar in his right knee. It wouldn't surprise me if the Bulls even shut him down for the season. That still leaves the Bulls with the three best players on the court after James if Kuzman doesn't play in Lauri Markkanen, Otto Porter and Kris Dunn. The Bulls appear locked into the fourth-worst record in the NBA. So they shouldn't be tanking especially after a disappointing 131-108 road loss to the Pistons on Sunday in which Chicago coach Jim Boylen questioned his team's toughness. The Bulls are 3-3 in their last six home games with two of those victories coming against the Celtics and 76ers. Chicago should be primed for a good effort, have a talent edge given James' reduction in playing time and own home-court. So I don't accept that the Bulls opened an underdog.
(Editor's note: Stephen Nover is one of the top NBA 'cappers in North American and he's having another strong year winning 56 percent of his premium/free NBA plays. Stephen has his Game of the Week going today in addition to this free selection. Don't miss any of Stephen's winning plays as he also is killing it in college basketball going 69-42-2.)

NBA | Blazers vs Clippers
Play on: OVER 231½ -109
DMack's Free Play for Tuesday, March 12 2019 is on the Blazers/Clippers Over
The Blazers have seen the over cash six times in their last eight games which has mainly come on a very successful East Coast swing. The under in 3-1 in the Clippers last four and the low is also 5-2 L7 in the series but ..... Los Angeles is the highest scoring home team in the NBA at 126 per and just dropped 140 on the Celtics last night. Portland enjoys getting up and down, much like the Clippers and this number looks to be artificially low. Look for this one to fall much closer to 250 that 230 ... play the OVER!

NBA | Blazers vs Clippers
Play on: Blazers -2 -105 at Pinnacle
My 1* Free Play is on the Portland Trailblazers.
The Clippers come in hot. LA has won five straight, most recently taking care of the Celtics at home just last night. The Clippers are in a dog fight with the Blazers and others as the season winds down, but fatigue at this point of the year in the second game of a back-to-back scenario is a very real factor.
And I believe it’ll be the difference in this contest. Portland snapped a two-game slide with a win over the Suns and it comes in slightly refreshed after two nights off. Damian Lillard had 18 points, two boards and nine assists vs. red hot Phoenix.
LA smashed the Celtics 140-115 victory last night, but Boston came in complacent after three straight wins over the Lakers, Warriors and Kings (all on the road.) LA has won five straight, but I have a hard time seeing it muster up those same energy levels this evening.
I’ll point out as well that the Clippers are a money-burning 10-18 ATS in their last 28 as a home underdog (including only 2-6 ATS this year), while Portland is 6-2 ATS in its last eight as a road favorite.
Consider the rested visiting side in this one.
Good luck…Larry

Marc Lawrence NBA Free Play! - TuesdayPlay - LA Clippers (Game 546)
Edges - Clippers: 5-1 SU and 6-0 ATS last six overall games; and 5-1 ATS without rest in conference games this season … Trail Blazers: 0-6 SU and 2-4 ATS in this series versus same season revenge of 7 or fewer points; and 0-3 ATS last three overall games … We recommend a 1* play on the LA Clippers.
