Los Angeles Lakers at New York Knicks [ESPN | 8:00 PM ET]

Lakers (-5.5, O/U 200.5): Los Angeles didn't get their 8 game road trip started off the way they had hoped, as they lost SU to Cleveland for the 2nd time this season. The Lakers now have to bounce back quickly, as they are playing on consecutive nights for the 10th time this season. The Lakers are 7-3 SU and 4-6 ATS in this specific back to back scenario. The Lakers have been struggling on the road of late, as they've lost 5 of their past 6 games SU on the road. Los Angeles is 5-11 ATS on the road for the entire season. The Lakers are 0-5 ATS as a favorite up to 5 PTS this season. Despite all their recent struggles, the Lakers enjoy playing in Madison Square Garden. The last time G Kobe Bryant visited MSG, he scored an arena record 61 PTS. Bryant has averaged 30.5 PPG at MSG over 11 career games there. The Lakers offense as a group has struggled of late, scoring less than 100 PTS in 7 of 9 games.

Lakers are 19-7 ATS last 26 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.
Under is 12-4-1 last 17 games as a road favorite of 5 to 10.5 points.

Key Injuries - F Lamar Odom (finger) is probable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 106 (OVER - Total of the Day

Knicks: New York has lost to the Lakers 5 straight times SU, including earlier this season. With the Knicks being an impressive 9-3 SU and 8-4 ATS at home since December 1st, revenge will be on their minds tonight. New York is 17-24 SU and 20-21 ATS this season. At home, the Knicks are 10-11 SU and 11-10 ATS. The Knicks are currently 1.5 games back of the 8th playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. F David Lee is having a monster season, as he leads the Knicks in both scoring and rebounding. Lee is averaging 19 PPG and 11 RPG this season, and since Christmas he has scored 22 PTS or more in 9 of his 12 games played. 5 other Knicks average double digits in PTS including F Danilo Gallinari. Gallinari is averaging nearly 15 PPG, and has made 109 3 pointers this season. Defensively, the Knicks have allowed an average of 102 PPG, but they are improving as they've held 11 of their past 12 opponents under 100 PTS at home.

Knicks are 11-5 ATS last 16 vs. Western Conference.
Under is 10-2 last 12 home games.

Key Injuries - F David Lee (rest) is probable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 103



Chicago Bulls at Phoenix Suns [ESPN | 10:30 PM ET]

Bulls: Chicago had won 4 consecutive games SU before starting a road trip that has seen then be unsuccessful in both games thus far. In fact, Chicago is a paltry 4-15 SU on the road this season. Playing the high scoring Suns in Phoenix isn't going to be an easy task for the Bulls, as they are 1-14 SU when they allow opponents to score at least 100 PTS. The Bulls are 18-22 SU and 17-21-2 ATS this season, and are currently 8th in the Eastern Conference playoff chase. The Bulls are 7-12 ATS away from home this season, including 5-8 ATS as a single digit road underdog. PG Derrick Rose leads the team in scoring at 19 PPG, and he's scored at least 19 PTS in 8 of the 10 games this year. C Joakim Noah is a rebounding beast, as he's 2nd in the NBA averaging 12.4 RPG to go along with 11 PPG. The Bulls are the 4th lowest scoring team in the NBA at 94.5 PPG. Defensively, the Bulls are allowing 98 PPG this season.

Bulls are 2-8 ATS last 10 games as a road underdog of 5 to 10.5 points.
Under is 13-6 last 19 vs. Western Conference.

Key Injuries - F John Salmons (illness) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 102

Suns (-7, O/U 218): Phoenix is certainly happy to be back home, as they beat the Nets by more than 20 PTS in their 1st game home after losing all 4 games SU of a recent road trip. In fact, Phoenix has lost 11 of their past 12 road games SU. Luckily, they are back home where they are 16-4 SU and 12-8 ATS. Phoenix has only been held under 100 PTS one time this season at home. Phoenix is 6-6 ATS as a single digit favorite at home this season. Overall, the Suns are 25-18 and stand 6th in the Western Conference playoff chase. Phoenix is the highest scoring team in the NBA, averaging 109.9 PPG. 6 different players average double digits in PTS, led by Amar'e Stoudemire's 21 PPG. Stoudemire has been efficient of late, shooting better than 50% from the field in 5 of his last 6 games. PG Steve Nash averages nearly 19 PPG and 11 APG, the 2nd most APG in the NBA. The Suns allow an average of 107 PPG, the 2nd most PPG in the league.

Suns are 16-4-1 ATS last 21 home games vs. a team with a road winning % less than .400.
Under is 11-5 last 16 vs. a team with a losing SU record.

Key Injuries - F Grant Hill (face) is probable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 116 (Side of the Day)

Len's Top 5

TGIF everyone, here's my Top 5 for January 22, 2010 from Len Berman.

1. Quick Hits

Jets owner Woody Johnson made his first public comments since the death of his daughter Casey. "It's two different worlds," he said referring to his team's success. "That's the way you can handle it. One really doesn't help the other. The other is reality - I lost a daughter. There's no way to bring her back."
The NFL Championship games are Sunday. Jets @ Indianapolis, Minnesota @ New Orleans.
The Dallas Cowboys signed coach Wade Phillips through 2011.
US Open winner Kim Clijsters gets blitzed at the Australian Open in the third round by Nadia Petrova. 6-0, 6-1.
Allen Iverson, despite having his worst season, gets voted by the fans to start in the NBA All Star Game.
NASCAR, in an effort to bring back the sizzle is relaxing it's rules. NASCAR president Mike Helton said, "If you ain’t rubbing, you ain’t racing." Words to live by.

2. Pick a Winner

So the odds are the home teams will make it to the Super Bowl. Who says?
The last time both #1 seeds made it was way back in 1993. The truth is, while the Saints are a great story, the best story line involves the two underdogs. That would pit Brett Favre up against the latest team he bailed on, the Jets. A Minnesota/Indy Super Bowl wouldn't be bad either, Favre against Manning. Actually, any matchup in the Super Bowl would be better than the commercials, but I guess I'm in the minority. (See #3)

3. Survey Says

The Nielsen Company did a survey and determined that by a 51-49% margin, viewers like the Super Bowl commercials more than the game itself. Other questions on the survey must have included do kids like string beans better than ice cream? And what do you like more, hitting your finger with a hammer or getting a massage?

4. Friday Mailbag

Subscriber B.S. is a giddy Jets fan. He writes, "Regardless of Sunday's outcome, the "Season Ball" should go to Rex Ryan. What a refreshing change. He has players and fans believing that anything is possible."
Editor's Note: No argument from me.

B.P. is tired of people saying the Jets have been bad for 40 years. "What has distinguished them and made them "the same old Jets" is the way they have consistently lost games for 40 years. From the Gastineau penalty in Cleveland to the Marino pass at the Meadowlands, to the Edwards coaching gaffe in the playoff game in Pittsburgh to stupid mistake after stupid mistake, that is what has made the Jets a joke throughout the football world."

M.W. is annoyed with the Wall Street Journal for reporting that there are roughly 11 minutes of action in an NFL game. He says, "Yea, well how much action is there in the Wall Street Journal?"

K.W. asks if I've heard anything about a possible sponsor for the new Meadowlands football stadium? He asks "What about Jet Blue or Green Giant?"
Editor's Note: Sure, when the Mets stadium in Flushing is sponsored by Ty-D-Bol.

And on the subject of the Mets, R.T. asks on my Facebook page (Len Berman's Top 5,) "How do the Mets call their medical staff? Paging Dr. Howard, paging Dr. Fine?"
Editor's Note: It's always nice to hear from fans of the Three Stooges.

Feel free to let me know your comments here.


5. Down The Drain

The "sense of humor award" of the week goes to University of Tennessee football fan Drew McElroy. In honor of football coach Lane Kiffin bolting town, he wants to rename a city facility in his honor. The Lane Kiffin Sewage Treatment Center. Check that, he sent in $262 with his naming application. He's not joking.


Happy Birthday: The first to score 50 goals in 50 games, the great former Islander Mike Bossy. 53.
Bonus Birthday: Actress Diane Lane (I had the pleasure of sitting next to her on the Tonight Show.) 45.

Today in Sports: "Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!" George Foreman knocks down heavyweight champ Joe Frazier 6 times in 2 rounds to win the championship in Kingston, Jamaica. 1973.
Bonus Event: Sock it to me. Ya' mean Kate Hudson's mom was famous? (Goldie Hawn.) The debut of Laugh-In on NBC from "beautiful downtown Burbank." 1968.
