This matchup features two of the top four defensive clubs in the NBA, thus the modest total by today's NBA standards. But recent performances suggest both the Lakers and Nuggets prefer a faster tempo than this number indicates. The Lakers have scored at least 112 in six of their last eight, but have gone Under in five straight against mostly meager competition. The Nuggets have averaged 113 ppg in their last five wins. Look for both clubs to go up tempo and send this one Over.
