Denver at Los Angeles

Denver is clicking, on a 7-2 SU/7-1-1 ATS run. They were a dog at Phoenix the last game and won 123-112. The Nuggets are 42-16-1 ATS when following a straight-up win of more than 10 points. They face a banged up L.A. Lakers team in a funk at #26 in the NBA in points allowed, and dead last in the field goal shooting defense allowing .479%. The Lakers have lost eight of nine and are 5-15 ATS against the Western Conference. Power forward Julius Randle (pneumonia) didn't practice Monday and is questionable, while point guard D'Angelo Russell (knee, calf) is not 100%. The Lakers are 9-23-1 ATS against a team with a losing straight-up record. Denver recorded a 127-121 victory in Los Angeles two weeks ago, covering seven straight games here, and the road team is 9-2 ATS when these teams meet. Play Denver.
