The line may be big, but I predict a blowout win for the Spurs today. The main reason for that is the Bynum effect that takes away power to the team in the interior game and will give a huge edge to the Spurs in the paint. The Lakers with Bynum were a dominating team in the interior game, especially in the rebounds where the team still has a positive number in reb margin of +1,59. But since the game against Memphis (where Bynum still played for 20 min), the team can't dominate the interior game anymore. The team has played against Memphis, Seattle, Phoenix and Denver and they could only outrebound the Suns and we are talking about teams who are out of the Top 15 in terms of rebound margin.

The Lakers won't be able to stop Duncan today, something that will bring huge problems to the team, as Kobe will have Bowen defending him. If Kobe isn't able to play well today and the team will be immediately eliminated from the game. The Spurs are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games, but they had huge spreads to cover. It's curious that the big 3 of the Spurs are playing well now: Duncan, Parker and Ginobili. In their last three games, they had very good numbers. They have combined 22-46 FG vs Bobcats; 23-49 FG vs Rockets; 27-53 FG vs Cavs. Simply the team wasn't able to have the upperhand in the interior game, something that they will easily have in today's game.

In their first game at the AT&T this season in an early game, with Bynum in the bench and with no influence in the team, the Spurs easily defeated the Lakers by 107-92, covering an 8 points spread. Today I expect the same to happen, in an easy win for the Spurs to make a statement today.
