The Lakers are 2-5 ATS as an underdog, 2-7 ATS in road games and 2-7 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record this season and Kobe Bryant is averaging is averaging just 16.5 points per game in two games against the Nuggets this season.

The Nuggets on the other hand are 5-1 ATS when playing on back-to-back days, 5-1 ATS against Pacific division opponents and 4-1 ATS in a home game where where the total is between 195 and 199.5 points this season.

The Nuggets should have won their first meeting against the Lakers and they got their revenge and beat them in the second meeting. The Lakers stink on the road and the Nuggets are tough to beat at home. My NBA Free Picks Nuggets -4 and I will go over 196½ because these two teams can lit up the scoreboard.
