Lakers coming to the match with three straight losses and there is various reasons why they'd take comfortable doubledigit win over Seattle. Better team at home and surely wants to win after their losses. Good offence against defence who practically hasn't perimeter defence. Also Seattle is without good shooters so if Lakers can stop their runs to the basket there isn't much chances for them.

Still I like the odd of Seattle. Their offence has started to work better after their weak start but couldn't call much good for a team which is 2-12. Against San Antonio they gave a good fight but maby San Antonio wasn't playing as hard at the start as they were able. But the bet is more to fade Lakers than favouring Seattle. Their players has had troubles while shooting from perimeter lately and in a high tempo game they'll have to scarp even they are playing against a opponent like Seattle. Both teams have given much turnovers for their opponents and if one team cuts their turnovers there is a huge edge for that team. Brown out isn't making the job for Lakers defence any easier when Turiaf isn't yet in his best form.

Bryant has been weak so far compared to his last season and whole team feels to be a bit overrated. Before their three game losing streak they were 7-3 but 5/7 wins came against teams who were playing back-to-back matches. Too soon to say if that is just a coincidence or thanks for lucky schedule.

Anyway Lakers is much stronger and the most likely result is their easy win but seeing a slight chance for Seattle too.
