Los Angeles vs. Denver

Los Angeles opened the season with a big victory in their home arena against the city rival and defending champs. Now they have to head out on the road in a tough place to play. Even in the victory they got outrebounded and allowed 46.9% shooting. They face a Denver team playing its home opener after an OT loss at Sacramento. Denver was the No. 3 seed in the West last year, just behind the Clippers, then beat Los Angeles in the playoffs in seven games while making it to the Western Conference Finals. Denver has excellent depth, balance, and chemistry, and this is a great spot for the talented home team to win the game. Take Denver on the moneyline.
