The Lakers simply leave no chance for their opponents at home. Orlando was lucky, but the rest of the opponents left Los Angeles empty-handed. It is quite possible that the same will happen to Denver. The Nuggets looked unconvincing in their last game, so they can hardly count on success.
Our prediction is Lakers with a handicap of (-2.5) points at 1.72

Bet on statistics
Davis hasn't scored less than 31 points in 3 of his last 4 games. Anthony is on a roll and needs to repeat his achievement.
