Los Angeles at Denver

The Los Angeles Lakers have been reduced to an average team with Kobe out, Howard gone, Nash with an ailing back, and Pao Gasol shooting poorly. Gasol has a lot of pressure on him to take on the scoring load, and opposing defenses realize this, so he is getting a lot of attention. The Lakers are going to have to come to Denver and slow the pace down, as this is not a deep team right now. Add that to the altitude factor,and  they are going to be running on empty late in the game. Denver is off to a slow start, but after an 0-3 start they have won two of their last three, and should have their focus tonight, because it is the Lakers and they play their best basketball at home. The Lakers have been brutal following an ATS win as they are 15-39-2 ATS following one in their last 56. After a straight-up win, the Lake Show is just 18-38-1 ATS in their last 57. Denver is riding the mojo after a double-digit win at 10-2-1 ATS in their last 13. The Lakers also get into a defensive mindset after posting a 10+ point win as they are 8-2-1 to the UNDER in their last 11. This series has played low in Denver where the last 19 meetings have produced 13 that fell shy of the total. Play on Denver and the UNDER.

0.5 unit on Denver -9 (-110) (risk 0.5 to return 0.5)
