The atmosphere at crypto.com Arena will be electric tonight as the Lakers host the Nuggets for the first time since their Western Conference Finals series in the playoffs last year. For this occasion, I've prepared a Same Game Parlay and the last time I had a SGP bet for a Lakers game it ended up cashing at +574 odds. Continue reading below to see tonight's bet.

LA Lakers Money Line (+142)
Emotions will be running high tonight in LA as the Lakers honor their legend Kobe Bryant with a statue unveiling outside of the arena. On this special day they get to face the defending champions Nuggets, a team that's had their number for a while now. However, LeBron and co. have actually faired well in home games vs the Nuggets, winning 8 of the last 11. There's still a bitter taste in their mouth following last season's sweep in the Conference Finals and I think that'll be used as a motivating factor here.
