The Lakers are 6-0 and have held opponents under 100 points in all six games.

Tonight L.A. goes for seven straight wins as they head to New Orleans to take on Chris Paul and the Hornets. With 21 points and 13 assists in Saturday's 100-89 win over Miami, Paul set an NBA record by recording his sixth consecutive double-double of 20 points and 10 assists to begin a season.

Los Angeles showed off the stingy D last night and held Dallas to 39 second-half points and won 106-99 for their fifth straight ATS win. Pau Gasol had 22 points and 11 rebounds, and Andrew Bynum added 11 and 10.

Before you lay money down on the Lakers, be warned that the underdog is 7-0 ATS in the last seven meetings between these teams.
