Preview:
The 24-5 Lakers host the 19-8 Nuggets here, laying 6points as a home favourite. I dislike the travel spot for LA here and will take the Nuggets plus a relatively handy margin.
The Lakers return here from a gruelling 5-game road trip, still adjusting to being back on West Coast time. By contrast, Denver have just had a 5-game homestand and enter this clash very well rested.
The injury report also suggests that LeBron is doubtful to play here due to a muscle strain. His absence would be huge and negate LA’s only real advantage over Denver.
This is also a great opportunity for Denver to get revenge after suffering a home loss to the Lakers earlier this month. They were actually favoured in that game, which indicates how much the market has shifted in the last 3 weeks.
If either LeBron or AD is limited here, I’d expect LA to have a tough time against this well-rounded Nuggets side. I actually see this line going down significantly before tip-off, so I’d monitor the injury report and back them at this healthy spread ASAP.
Odds:
Tip: Los Angeles Lakers at $1.65
