The Denver Nuggets knocked the socks off the Lakers with a 133-96 win back in January. The Lakers are coming into this game on a five-game losing streak while Denver had won three in a row before losing to Minnesota in its last game.

Sure, the Lakers are the more desperate of the two sides currently on the outside looking on the play-in tournament bracket, but I highly doubt the Nuggets will give them a free pass, especially coming off a loss themselves. Also, the Nuggets need to make sure they don't fall into the play-in tournament.

Nuggets are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Lakers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog. Lakers are 5-17 ATS in their last 22 Sunday games.

10* play on Denver Nuggets.
