Lakers at Nuggets
Pick: Lakers +4.5
The Lakers showed their mental toughness in game three, outscoring the Nuggets 32-18 in the fourth quarter. The six-point final margin was the Lakers’ biggest lead of the game. LA is very tough in this spot, rarely suffering a let-down after these types of wins. The Lakers are 17-1 ATS on the road after a win on the road in which Kobe Bryant took more than 20 shots, 8-0 ATS after a win on the road in which Derek Fisher scored fewer than 10 points and a perfect 8-0 ATS THIS season on the road off a road win in which they trailed at the end of the third quarter.The Nuggets, on the other hand, are 0-6 ATS (-10.3 ppg) off a loss as a favorite in which they led at the end of the third quarter. Also, in the PLAYOFFS, Denver is 0-6 ATS when facing a team they lost to at home in their previous match-up.Finally, the Nuggets are 0-5 ATS (-6.8 ppg) during the playoffs after a home loss in which Carmelo Anthony was the Nuggets' high scorer.This is a lot of points to be giving the Lakers. Grab’em.

LA Lakers at Denver
Play: Over 208.5
3 straight unders in this series have brought the total down 5 points since Game 1 and now the books will pay for making such a mistake. We saw these teams score 208 and 209 points respectively in Games 1 and 2 and after totaling only 200 in a poor shooting Game 3, I expect to see a shootout. Denver is averaging 108.2 ppg at home this season and the Lakers are averaging 104.6 ppg on the road. Denver is 36-9 OVER when both teams score 98 or more points in a game this season. The average score in these games was DENVER 112.7, OPPONENT 107.8. And the Lakers are 37-11 OVER when both teams score 98 or more points in a game this season. The average score was LA LAKERS 113.2, OPPONENT 107.6. Bet the Over.

Play: LA Lakers +4.5
The Lakers managed to steal back home court advantage on Saturday night and take a 2-1 lead in the series. They did it by outplaying the Nuggets in the paint and on the glass and I expect nothing to change tonight. LA simply has the better inside/outside game thanks to Kobe Bryant who can open up lanes and create mismatches.This game should come down to the wire and that's why I'm taking the Lakers and 4 1/2 points.
