Denver at Los Angeles

Denver has won four in a row at the Staples Center and nine of the last 10 meetings overall against the Lakers, including an 8-2 ATS mark. Danilo Gallinari leads the Nuggets with 16 points per game and rookie phenom Emmanuel Mudiay averages 12.7 points and 5.3 assists. This is a good chance for Denver to get back to its opening night form when it shot 50 percent from the field in a 105-85 rout at Houston. Kobe Bryant has been admittedly terrible this season, shooting 31.4 percent and just 6-for-29 from three-point range. Bryant was 3-for-15 in Sunday's 103-93 loss against Dallas. The Lakers shoot 40.1 percent as a team and are second to last in the league allowing 115.7 points per game. There's great value in this line, so take the Nuggets.
