DENVER over *DALLAS by 1
This is the last contest in a four-game series with the Mavericks leading two games to
one on the strength of three-point win at home and a two-point win in Colorado in OT.
With the Nuggets coming on like gangbusters lately (14 victories in their last 20 games)
and as healthy as they’ve been all season, we’ll look for them to continue their recent
success by out “quicking” the Mavericks and controlling the boards. DENVER, 95-94.
RECOMMENDED
HOUSTON over *LOS ANGELES LAKERS by 1
It looks like the Rockets are just where they want to be — on the road and embarking
on a six-game, nine-night road trip. How else to explain their 23-10 ATS record on the
road as opposed to 9-26 ATS home? Actually the explanation is rather simple: Houston’s
scoring margin at home, where it tends to be a small dog or a favorite is -2 PPG. On the
road, where they are usually dogs taking handfuls of points, the Rockets have a scoring
margin of -1 PPG. Houston always plays defense, the Lakers rarely do. Take the points
wit the Van Gundys….again. HOUSTON, 97-96.
