Historical stats look good at a first look bigboydan, but might wana check up this season stats!
Denver is 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games when playing LA Lakers
LA Lakers are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games on the road
LA Lakers are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games
Denver is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games
Denver is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games when playing at home against LA Lakers
LA LAKERS is 10-3 against the spread versus DENVER over the last 3 seasons
HOWEVER this season, the Lakers have failed to cover in their two games on the road when favored by less than 3 points and the Nuggets are 6-1 in a home game where the total is greater than or equal to 210.
I'd have to go with the Lakers. Denver doesn't have a reliable big man to stop Pau Gasol, and Lamar Odom who has been playing great basketball in their recent games. Nene might play, but it is most likely that the denver will rule him out until late March to further rest his knee.
