500♦ Denver Nuggets
In a game that both teams have plenty to play off with playoff seeds still up for grabs I expect a much closer game than expected. You see for the Nuggets who have won 13 of their last 14 games, including their last four games by double digits it’s tough to think that they will lose by double digits tonight. Especially once you factor in that it was Denver who won the last series meeting beating Los Angeles 90-79 at home in late February. Plus, at 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall and a perfect 4-0 ATS in their last four games on the highway I am convinced that Denver will make a game of it tonight.
Meanwhile, for the Lakers despite their dominating series numbers the few numbers that stick out tonight is the fact that Los Angeles has dropped four of their last five games at home against the spread and their 11 point loss to Denver in the most recent series meeting.
Bottom line I look for a close game tonight in Southern California as while I don’t expect for Denver to win outright, but I do see the Nuggets staying inside the number.
Take the Nuggets plus the points!
Hey Blade do you have Anthony redd or brandon langs picks tonight.
