I've also picked the Nuggets to cover 11.5 here, but I am even more confident in the under 241 due to the energy Denver expended in holding off the Lakers on Friday. Denver pulls away in the second half, but scoring will hit some dry spells throughout this one.

The Nuggets defeated the Lakers in a tight game on Friday. Usually, having to turn right back around and play the next night would spell trouble, but Denver is 11-1 on the back end of back-to-backs this season and has won those 11 games by an astounding average of 18 points.
