In this Sept. 28, 2013, file photo, Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant talks during the NBA team’s media day in El Segundo, Calif.

Here’s the latest installment of the Play of the Day, which uses odds from the South Point. Our three sports writers started with a $10,000 bankroll — fictional, of course.

Los Angeles Lakers plus-5.5 at Indiana: $550 to win $500 : The Lakers have won a season-best three straight games and finally have momentum on their side. Despite playing yesterday in Minnesota and going into overtime Friday, the Lakers will have enough left in the tank to beat the Pacers. I actually like the Lakers to win straight up, handing Indiana its ninth straight loss.

Indiana has won just seven games this year and can’t seem to get healthy. It is 29th out of 30 NBA teams in scoring and assists. It’s a perfect spot for the Lakers to continue their streak.

Take the points with the better team.

Standings: Bern (59-49-1, $12,216), Keefer (53-60-1, $7,727), Brewer (50-56-3, $5,055)
