Well…our members lost last night taking the Magic +8, but the Cavs played tough in the final 3 minutes and covered the spread by 2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the pros at FiveStarPick.com are still a blistering 11-3 against the spread in their last 14 member plays. Tonight we focus on Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals as the Lakers travel to Denver to take on the Nuggets. Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Nuggets as 5-point favorites with the total coming in around 209.
Los Angeles comes into Game 6 holding a 3-2 advantage over the Nuggets. The Lakers haven’t lost a best-of-seven series that was tied at 2-2 after winning a Game 5 since the 1969 NBA Finals against Boston. The Lakers (76-23 straight up, 51-48 against the spread) have the second-most NBA championships (14), and lead the NBA in Finals appearances (29). The Lakers advanced to the NBA Finals last season before ultimately falling to the Boston Celtics.
Denver, the second seed in the West, has never advanced to the NBA Finals since joining the league in 1976, but Denver’s fortunes changed when veteran point guard Chauncey Billups was added to their line-up. The Nuggets (64-33 SU, 58-38 against the spread) made franchise history recording back-to-back 50-win seasons.
The Lakers took Game 5 as a six-point home favorite, 103-94…a FiveStarPick.com against the spread win. The combined 197 points helped the ‘under’ improve to 4-1 in this series. The game was tied after each of the first three quarters before Los Angeles went on a 21-3 run in the 4th quarter. The Lakers were outrebounded by Denver, 43-42, but shot a solid 49 percent (37-of-76) from the field in the victory. Kobe Bryant paced the offense with 22 points and eight assists, while power forward Lamar Odom had a phenomenal game adding 19 points and grabbing 14 rebounds.
