NBA 3-Pack
(NBA) Denver vs. LA Lakers,
Point Spread: 2.00 | -110.00 Denver (Away)
Result: Win
Play: Denver Nuggets
Rating: 8/10*

The LA Lakers got off to a bright start this season, but they've dropped four straight games and 20 of 25 since splitting their first 20 contests. The Denver Nuggets meanwhile are heating up and they head into this game aiming for a third consecutive win after defeating Indiana 140-112 across the pond last Thursday followed by a 125-112 win against Orlando last night. Denver has a young and athletic team, so I don't think playing on back-to-back nights will have much of a negative effect. They've won six straight meetings with the Lakers at Staples Center, and my money is on their success to continue tonight.
