Denver at Los Angeles

Denver has beaten the Lakers seven times in a row, including that four-game sweep in last year's playoffs. The Nuggets have covered the number the past four meetings, including their 114-106 victory as a three-point favorite on Feb. 8. The Nuggets currently are on a five-game win streak with a 4-1 ATS record and they come off a 103-97 win over Miami on Thursday. Michael Porter Jr. scored 30 points for Denver, which held on after having a 16-point fourth-quarter lead cut to two against the Heat. Los Angeles had to go overtime to beat the lowly Wizards 134-131 two nights ago and the Lakers were losing for most of the first three quarters. The Lakers are 2-5 ATS following a win and 7-23 ATS after scoring more than 125 points their previous game. Also, Los Angeles has covered the spread just once its past five games. Take the Nuggets.
