This is a 10* on UNDER

It’s a rematch of last year’s Western Conference Finals tonight on TNT. You probably remember the Lakers won that series, 4 games to 1, last September. The Nuggets were pretty competitive though, never dropping a game by more than 12 points and two of the losses were by six points or less. The stakes obviously aren’t as high tonight, though both teams are looking to make their way to the top of the Western Conference. The Lakers are one-half game behind the Jazz and Clippers for what looks to be shaping up as a tight three-game race. Denver, 3.5 games back of the leaders, just beat Utah on Sunday. They were supposed to face Detroit on Monday, but that was postponed right before tipoff. The Lakers have been really strong defensively this year. Six of the last seven games have gone Under and they just kept Atlanta under 100 points on Monday. Los Angeles is #1 in the NBA in defensive efficiency. The Under is 6-0 when they face a team with a winning record this season. Denver has been an Over team, but has the potential to come out rusty tonight. Play on UNDER
