Let's dive in.
Denver Nuggets 11+ Win Margin (+165)
Anything other than a blowout win by the Nuggets here would be a surprise for me, after watching the Lakers in their first 3 games of the season. LA is off to their worst start in years and by the looks of it there is no light at the end of the tunnel, unless drastic changes are made. They have been historically bad shooting the ball just 40.7% from the field which ranks dead last in the NBA. Three-point shooting is also a problem, they rank 30th connecting on just 21% of attempts. Playing at home should make all the difference for the Nuggets here, they are 8-3 SU in their last 11 games played on a Wednesday at Ball Arena. The Lakers are in trouble early in the season, until they trade away Westbrook things will not improve. Back the home team to win big.
