LA Lakers -6.5
Rare spot to take the Lakers with revenge and it's double revenge at that. On November 13th, Denver handed LA what still ranks as its worst defeat of the season, 105-79, at the Pepsi Center. Earlier this month, they won going away at Staples, 126-113, as eight-point underdogs and that was when they were playing without leading scorer Carmello Anthony. That being said, LA remains a "house of horrors" for the Nuggets with them losing 26 of the last 30 times they've played the Lakers here. Denver has been doing a lot of travelling lately, first playing at home vs. Boston last Sunday, then on the road in Golden State on Thursday and then back at home for Detroit on Friday. This is now their third game in four days and the team has gone just 3-11 ATS in that situation this year. The Lakers have played three games this season where they were seeking revenge for a loss as a favorite of seven or more. They covered all three times. LA Lakers are our NBA Oddsmaker Mismatch.

LA Lakers -6
This is a statement game and it’s Kobe and the Lakers who need to send a message. With a pair of blowouts over the defending champs, the Nuggets have certainly made their case as serious contenders in the Western Conference. Denver’s latest memo was a 126-113 rout in the Staples Center less than a month ago just their fourth win versus the Lakers in this building since 1997 (4-25 SU). They haven’t fared much better on the ATS scorecard, posting a 9-20 ATS mark over that same span. Digging deeper, our database points out that Denver is 1-6-1 ATS while Los Angeles is 8-3 ATS on Sundays this season. The Nuggets check in with a dismal 7-16 ATS mark on the road against .300 or greater opposition this season. Denver's 2-7-1 ATS log over their last 10 games when goes into same-season double-revenge exact and Los Angeles 5-0 SU and ATS mark in its last five home games on Sundays - with every win by 16 or more points - seals it . We recommend a 3-unit play on the Lakers.

Temple (-7') for 2.5 Units
The Explorers have had a difficult time adjusting to key injuries and as a result are on a 1-8 ATS slide. The last time LaSalle played Temple (January 30th) they barely were able to get a shot off as Temple choked them out. And that was with Mekongo roaming the paint. He won't play today. We don't see a letdown here for Temple. They play hard on the road and sport an 11-4 ATS mark as a road favorite in this spread range. Furthermore, they're 9-1 ATS on Sunday. The Explorers, on the other hand, are a poor 2-9 ATS vs a team with a winning % above .600 and they're just 2-7 ATS on Sundays. The Owls are 4-1 ATS in this series and defensively should shut them down again.

Hornets/Mavericks OVER 200
For a number of different reasons I believe the value in this contest is on the "over":
Dallas and New Orleans (31-28) have split two games this season, and the Mavericks have won 15 of the last 16 regular-season home matchups. Hornets forward David West is averaging 13.3 points on 38.9 percent shooting in seven career starts at Dallas.
West, however, enters off a dominant performance Friday with 40 points and 10 boards in a 100-93 home win over Orlando. He had gone 12 straight games without a double-double.
Rookie point guard Darren Collison, starting for an injured Chris Paul, is averaging 22.7 points and 8.7 assists in his last nine games.
It's important to point out that New Orleans has seen the total go "over" the posted number in 17 of 29 road games and in 5 of 9 vs. division opponents.
On the other side of the court: Dallas (38-21) is seeking its first seven-game win streak since Dec. 29, 2007-Jan. 12, 2008, and has clearly been bolstered by adding Brendan Haywood, Caron Butler and DeShawn Stevenson from the trade with Washington. Dirk Nowitzki is averaging 27.7 points in seven games since the deal.
Jason Kidd is also playing well in that span with averages of 14.9 points, 10.1 assists and 7.7 boards while shooting 44.0 percent on 3-pointers; The 36-year-old point guard was magnificent in Friday’s 111-103 overtime victory at Atlanta. Kidd had 19 points, 17 assists and 16 rebounds for his first triple-double this season and 104th of his career.
Filling in for an injured Erick Dampier, Haywood recorded his third double-double in four games with 11 points and 11 boards. He’s got 11 blocks in his last three games.
“He’s had double-doubles since he’s been on the team,” Kidd said. “He understands how to play and I think it’s worked out for us.”
Suffice to say I expect this team to continue to excel on the offensive end; it's interesting to note that Dallas has seen the total go "over" the posted number in 7 of 10 as a home favorite of 6 1/2 to 9 points.
Bottom line: The Mav's have also seen the total go "over" the posted number in 16 of 28 home games; when taking all of the above factors into consideration, the sharp money in this one is indeed on the OVER!

Hornets/Mavericks UNDER 200
Take out the Atlanta OT game and Dallas's games have been under this total as of late becvause they are actually playing better defense, which is why they are winning. They also have been distributing the ball well and that eats some clock for them. They have some good guatrd play right nowe as well. The UNDER is 11-2 ATS in this series the last 13 games. 5 out of Dallas's last 8 games they have failed to exceed 100 points on offense and they are allowing just 91 ppg. Play 1 Unit on the UNDER.
