NBA Betting Trends

Los Angeles

The Lakers are 6-0 ATS in their last six Tuesday games. The under is 4-0 in the last four Los Angeles games overall.

Denver

The under is 4-0 in the last four Nuggets games overall. Denver is 4-0 ATS in the last four home meetings versus the Lakers.

Prediction:

Los Angeles has been playing solid basketball, but step into a tough venue tonight as the Nuggets are 8-3 straight up at home. The spread is tight enough to where Denver can cover with a solid performance, which I think it will give against an LA team that is 5-4 away from home. The Lakers aren't a finished product yet and they will have a few rough nights along the way.
