Tonight’s match-up between the Denver Nuggets, (41-34-1 ATS, 21-18), will almost assuredly have a playoff atmosphere surrounding it as both teams jockey for one of the final postseason positions in the Western Conference.

Here’s the skinny on tonight’s showdown:

Both teams currently have 40 wins and need this victory in the worst way. The Nuggets (40-36) have been playing outstanding basketball lately and seem to finally be coming together after acquiring Allen Iverson in a mid-season trade with the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Lakers (40-37), on the other hand, have been nearly reduced to the nightly ‘Kobe Bryant Show’ as they fight to keep their playoff hopes alive.

While I think the Nuggets will definitely win this game, I’m am fairly certain that the Lakers will cover the high spread in a losing effort. If nothing else, Bryant’s unlimited skills should help L.A. hang around long enough to cover.

If you like statistics though, the numbers say that the Lakers are 1-7 ATS in their last eight road games and 6-20-2 ATS in their last 28 games overall.

In the last 13 meetings between the Lakers and Nuggets, the home team in this match-up is 10-3 ATS.
