Both these teams are great on offense, both can shoot the 3 well, both good at the charity stripe, but the Lakers are a little better in field goal percentage. Of course this means points and their games trend to the Over. These two teams average over 230 plus points combined when they play each other and this total of 224 gives bettors some value.The Lakers play at the fourth fastest pace and love to get out in transition, while Denver a slower team and will be forced to keep pace so expect plenty of points in this game. Head to head, they played six of their last seven games to the Over.The Lakers are 16-4 to the Over in the last two seasons when they are a road underdog of 6.5 to 12 points. In fact the Lakers have been an Over team this season when on the road. Both teams have some of the best players in the league in this game that are high scorers and both have multiple players that can score in double digits.

Best bet: take the Over the Total.
