Vegas odds for tonight’s LA Lakers @ Atlanta Hawks NBA game are now posted on NSAwins.com and vegas oddsmakers have made the Hawks a -1 point favorite with the game total set at 194. Atlanta(47-26) enters tonight’s game currently tied with Boston for the 3rd seed in the Eastern Conference playoff race. The Hawks are a very different team at home than on the road, as they are just 1-8 in their last 9 road games but have won their last 8 games at Philips Arena. The Hawks haven’t won nine in a row at home since an impressive 20-game streak Nov. 12, 1996-Feb. 12, 1997. The Lakers(54-20) enter tonight’s game having basically already wrapped up the #1 seed in the Western Conference, as they hold a 5 game lead over Dallas with only 8 games remaining in the regular season. The Lakers were embarassed in a 108-100 loss at New Orleans on monday, which caused the ire of Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom in the postgame interviews. The Hawks have taken their last two home matchups with the Lakers – holding Bryant to 14.0 points per game – but lost 118-110 back on November 1 at Staples Center as Bryant went off for 41 and Andrew Bynum put in 21. Bynum will be out tonight but Pau Gasol – who missed the first meeting – will be in the lineup. NSAwins.com’s expert handicapper Gerry “BIG CAT” Andino likes the Lakers to come out seething after monday’s embarassing loss and get it done in Atlanta. Gerry is taking the Lakers +1 point.
