Much more bigger game for Denver, as they are now in control of #2 seed if they win out.

Lakers all but have #1 seed locked up.

Nuggets moneyline seems like the play.

Thoughts?

It's so beyond me why people would take so much extra chalk on a spread anything less than 2.5 instead of just giving the points.

That is TERRIBLE chalk for this game anyway....

Not sure about this game. Everyone keeps thinking Lakers will just roll over. I would be more inclined to believe that had they not got blown out by San Antonio on Sunday. I don't think they want to go into the playoffs losing to all these teams they'll be facing. Also, money has been coming in on LA's side pushing the spread down to 1.

Things we dare not deny:

1) Lakers don't have a deep bench. They're not the same team without Bynum
2) Lakers' losses to the Hornets, Hawks, and Spurs, were no coincidences. It reflects their current form.
3) Denver play well at home. Forget their ATS record. The issue today is which team will win SU?
4) Denver have more to play for than the Lakers
5) Denver playing the second of a b2b won't affect their game tonight.

I always like Denver at home. Even if they are playing the Lakers I still will take moneyline.
