Los Angeles at Denver

Denver is not just beating teams at home, they are destroying them. Right now, The Nuggs could beat either the Spurs or the Suns in a five game series. We'll see if it keeps up but Karl is doing something right. There will be a loud sellout crowd in Denver tonight which will make it tough on a Lakers squad that is looking to halt a seven game losing streak and a horrid 1-6 ATS mark. Denver has been near-perfect at 9-1 SU and 9-0-1 ATS it's last ten on the hardwood. The Lakers recent woes have started on the defensive end as they are allowing foes 106.6 points/game last three (52.7% shooting). This plays into the Nuggets strength as they have pounded opponents for 115.4 points/game last five in front of the home crowd. The home team in series has sent backers to the cash window in six straight meetings and the Nuggets are 5-1 (5-0-1 ATS) last six hosting a Western club, 9-1 (8-0-1 ATS) last ten on home court while Lakers have lost five consecutive (0-5 ATS) and eight of last ten on the road (3-7 ATS). Denver is 26-2-2 against-the-spread scoring 100+ points and LA is 6-15 ATS last twenty-one allowing 100+, sealing the deal. Three stars on Denver to crush.
