1 Unit on Denver Nuggets -4
This is a very tough spot for the Lakers playing last night and then traveling to Denver tonight, especially since the Nuggets have had this one circled ever since getting knocked out of the playoffs by LA last season. Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that Denver is coming off a bad loss to Milwaukee and the Nuggets will be pumped up to play in front of their home crowd again after a six-game road trip. Pau Gasol was so pivotal to the Lakers' success in the Nuggets series and without him on the floor, I give Denver the advantage tonight. The Nuggets are an impressive 23-7 ATS in their last 30 vs. the Western Conference and I like them to continue their dominance tonight. Lay the points for 1 Unit.
