4/6 NBA: LA Lakers at Denver

[swole]

The Lakers have won two in a row on the road. The Nuggets want to hand them a losing streak instead.

Denver brings a 41-34 overall mark (9-4 in the division) into this game versus a Los Angeles team carrying a 40-35 record.

The Nuggets are favored, opening as 4-point chalk, with an opening total of 206. They are 41-34 this season and 40-35-0 OU. The Lakers are 40-35 and are 31-29 OU.

Last time out, at STAPLES Center against Houston, the Lakers as favorites defeated the Rockets 104-88. The game was an over play.

George Karl's team was busy last game losing to Los Angeles 111-109 as 4.5 point underdogs. The 220 points sent that game over the total of 204.5.

Some trends to consider:
Los Angeles are 2-8-3 ATS in its last 13 games after being 3.5 to 7 point favorites
Los Angeles are 1-5-0 OU in its last 6 away
Los Angeles are 1-5-0 OU in its last 6 games against Denver
Los Angeles are 2-8-0 OU in its last 10 games
Denver is 5-0-0 OU in its last 5 at home
Denver is 6-1-0 ATS in its last 7 home games
Denver is 8-2-0 OU in its last 10 games

Fuck that was a great game, down to the last OT second. Lakers came back from a big defecit, too bad they couldn't hold on to the win.

Atleast they cover the spread

Lakers still could surprise some teams this post season
