Lakers vs. Nuggets 9:00 PM ET Game# 707-708 Play On: Lakers -6.5 (10*) The Nuggets are coming off a deflating buzzer beating loss in Game 2. They have also expended a lot of energy in their last 2 series coming back from 3-1 deficits on each occasion. By the way, that’s never been done in NBA Playoff history. I doubt they have much gas left in the tank going forward. Conversely, the Lakers needed only 10 games in their last 2 series to advance to this point. Lastly, Lebron James knows the value of having additional rest at this time of the season `since he possesses plenty of experience in advancing to the NBA Finals. Getting this series over sooner rather than later coincides with that thought process. The Lakers are coming off a narrow 102-100 win in Game 2 of this series while failing to cover as a 5.5-point favorite. Including regular season action, the Lakers are 62-21 (.747) and Denver 54-35 (.607). This sets up an extremely profitable NBA betting angle which is displayed below. Any NBA favorite coming off a straight up win in which they failed to cover, and they have a win percentage of .600 or better, versus an opponent with a win percentage of .600 or better, resulted in those favorites going 70-21 ATS (76.9%) since 1996. The average line in those 91 games was -5.1 and the favorites outscored their opponents by an average of 11.1 points per contest. Bet on the Lakers minus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

Ross Benjamin has made his reputation in the sports handicapping industry by being one of the sharpest prognosticators over the last 15 years. In professional sports handicapper Ron Raymond’s 2008 published book “50 Greatest Sports Betting Secrets” he probably says it best. “One of the most underrated handicappers in our industry and probably one of the sharpest ones I know is Ross Benjamin.” One of Ross’ often used phrases when speaking publicly, “if you want to be a successful sports handicapper then start by thinking like a bookmaker”. Ross is 61 years old and has been directly involved in many capacities of the sports gaming industry for the last 31 years. However there is nothing he enjoys more than the challenge of picking winners in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAA Football, and NCAA Basketball.
