The Nuggets are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Lakers are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 home games and 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The over is 6-2 in Nuggets last 8 Friday games. The over is 4-0 in Lakers last 4 overall. The Nuggets are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Los Angeles.

The Denver Nuggets aren't nearly as good on the road as they are at home, where they actually lose by an average of 3.8 points and allow 50.7 percent shooting. The Los Angeles Lakers should be eager to get that nasty taste out of their mouth after blowing the game against the Celtics. AD and LeBron are listed as probable. A toss up game at home, I'd expect the Lakers to come out with a point to prove. Give me the Lakers.
