The Lakers are coming off an embarrassing 121-114 home loss to Toronto in a game they were a 10.0-point favorite. That defeat dropped their season record to 36-28. Denver is coming off a 110-104 road win over the Clippers.

Any NBA home team with a winning record that’s coming off a home straight up loss as a double-digit favorite, versus an opponent coming off a road game in which both teams scored 100 points or more, resulted in those home teams going 30-3 (91%) straight up since the 2001-2002 season began. Since this straight up betting angle backs the underdog, it takes on even more significance. Bet on the Lakers plus the points for a 5* wager.
