The Los Angeles Lakers travel to Utah today for the pivotal fourth game of their playoff series. After winning the first two games handily, the Lakers had their struggles in Utah's victory on Friday. A Utah win would certainly make the series interesting, while a Laker victory would have the series all but over, as the Jazz would have to win twice in Los Angeles to advance to the next round.

The opening lines on the game at Pinnacle were Utah -5 and a total of 210.5, but the public has been pouring money on Los Angeles and the game is currently at Utah -1 with a total of 211.

Of all the money wagered on the game so far, slightly more than 70-percent has been on Los Angeles, and the Lakers have been getting most of the attention from the sports services, as well.

The betting public is on the Hornets pretty big tonight, as New Orleans has received roughly two-thirds of the bets in the game, while New Orleans is a slight favorite in the betting.
