4* Los Angeles Lakers +5.5 -110
Like the Lakers here in this spot to close this thing out. They saw what just happened in the Cavs series, and they will not put themselves in the same predicament. If Denver had some composure, and if they have proven to be a better match for LA, I would like Denver here. But Denver has the ability to implode under the pressure and they just can't seem to get the Laker monkey off their backs. Even though Denver is arguably the better overall team, #24 and co have the Nuggets number.
Lakers are 12-5 ATS last 17 games vs. Denver, and the majority of those games the Lakers were the favorite. Lakers are also 21-8 as a road underdog. So why the disrespect? Value city here for the Lake show.
Also love betting on Kobe after a big Lebron night. Kobe is too much of a competitor to be outdueled. Expect a huge night from Bryant. This one should come down to the buzzer. Sometimes closing teams out can be very difficult. But there's no better closer than #24.
