Nuggets entertain Lakers at Pepsi Center
Basketball Betting Lines
02/03/2012 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Denver Nuggets shoot for a two-day sweep of Los Angeles
when they welcome a Lakers team that has struggled on the road this season to
the Rocky Mountains.
The Nuggets were in the City of Angels on Thursday and summarily dispatched of
the Clippers when Danilo Gallinari went 5-of-5 from behind the arc and scored
21 points, as Denver silenced the streaking Clips, 112-91, at Staples Center.
The Clippers came in 10-2 at home and were riding a four-game winning steak
that featured a win in Denver on Sunday. The Nuggets avenged that setback
emphatically, taking control by outscoring the Vinny Del Negro's team by 32
points over the second and third quarters.
"In the middle of the second quarter we started to be more aggressive,"
Gallinari said. "We were able to win the game in the third quarter."
Ty Lawson finished with 18 points and six assists, and Arron Afflalo chipped
in 15 points for the victors. Andre Miller, playing in his 1,000th regular
season game, added eight points for the Nuggets, who shot 53 percent from the
field and 12-of-21 from three-point range.
The Lakers, meanwhile, are just 2-7 on the road as they begin a season-high
six-game trek tonight.
Things have been far different in SoCal for the Lakers and Kobe and Company
improved to 11-2 as the host on Tuesday when Bryant led six scorers in double
figures with 24 points as the Lakers cruised to a 106-73 win over the hapless
Bobcats.
Andrew Bynum, named a Western Conference All-Star starter along with Bryant on
Thursday, added 20 points and 11 rebounds while rookie Andrew Goudelock
chipped in 12 points for Mike Brown's club, which has won two straight and
three of four overall.
"We got a lot of good production from our team," said Brown. "Our bench was
terrific. Our spacing is a lot better, we're moving the ball."
The Lakers, who are off to their worst start on the road in nine years, will
also visit the Jazz, Sixers, Celtics, Knicks and Raptors on the trip.
Denver has won four of its last six regular season games over the Lakers at
Pepsi Center. The last one was a 99-90 triumph back on New Year's Day when
Bryant scored 16 points to become just the sixth NBA player to reach 28,000 in
a career but shot a dismal 6-of-28 from the field.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
