Over\/Under<\/strong>: 211.5<\/p>\nIN THE SECOND GAME of the TV doubleheader tonight, it will be fun seeing what Denver brings to the table after that beatdown in Indiana two nights ago. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Playing their second straight road game and third in four nights, the Nuggets basically packed it in and Indiana made 20 consecutive shots (and 20 of 21 overall) in a 54-point third period. <\/p>\n
Pacer fans got to whoop it up, but they really should have asked for their money back after the 144-113 victory. <\/p>\n
Los Angeles will try to start 9-0 for the second time in history. The Lakers have matched the 1987-88 team for the second-best start in club history. The Lakers started 11-0 in 1997-98.<\/p>\n
Thursday\u2019s meeting also could be the last time the Lakers see Carmelo Anthony in a Nuggets uniform. Anthony has been rumored to want a trade from the Nuggets but no deals appear imminent.<\/p>\n

Best parlay bet:<\/em><\/strong> None of the four teams in action in the TNT doubleheader tonight are dominant cover teams \u2013 Celts and Heat 4-4 ATS, Lakers 5-3 and Nuggets 2-6.<\/p>\nThe Lakers are 8-0 SU but have feasted on a string of weak opponents, surviving nicely as they await the return on injured Andrew Bynum.<\/p>\n
Liking LA -3 tonight to continue its run against a Denver team that does not rebound well, and Boston +6.5 on the other side of the ticket.<\/p>\n
