Denver at Los Angeles

Premium Pick

Los Angeles is 26-36-2 ATS this season compared to 34-29 ATS for Denver and the Lakers have lost their last three games and 20 of their last 30. The Lakers have been plagued by injuries all season along with having no team chemistry and they likely won't make the playoffs in LeBron James' first year with the team. The Nuggets destroyed the Lakers 117-85 in the last meeting in November and they will try to snap a three-game losing streak of their own after a tough one-point loss at Sacramento on Monday. The Nuggets still are favored in this matchup as the Lakers are only 1-5 ATS their last six games and 1-5 ATS their last six when playing with one day of rest. Also, Denver is 16-7 ATS the last 23 meetings and the Nuggets are playing for playoff position while the Lakers slowly sink in the West.  Take the Nuggets.
