Today we're on the pro hardwood for a selection on the underdog Sonics at the Lakers.

Two struggling teams square off in this matchup, so with both teams having trouble getting a cover, we?ve got to put our money behind the underdog ? especially catching this many points.
Play Seattle as nothing seems to faze rookie Kevin Durant. The Sonics? rookie is averaging 19 points a game and put up 25 points and six rebounds in Sunday?s 116-101 home loss to the Spurs.
Both teams have lost four straight ATS but the way the Lakers defense looked in the second half of Sunday?s 102-100 loss to the Nets, there?s just no way we can back that team. The Lakers were seven-point favorites and sitting on a nice big halftime lead. They came out and gave up 65 points and it was like they weren?t even on the defensive end of the court.
Seattle went 2-0-2 ATS against the Lakers last season with both pushes coming in the Staples Center. We expect big things from the Sonics tonight, not only Durant, but from the supporting cast as well to get pumped up to play in front of the Hollywood faithful.
The Lakers defense is non-existent so scoring shouldn?t be a problem for the Sonics. Take those points and play Seattle in this one.

3♦ SEATTLE
