Lakers at Nuggets: What Bettors Need to Know

Los Angeles Lakers at Denver Nuggets (-5.5, 216)

The Los Angeles Lakers can reach the .500 mark for the first time since being 8-8 on Nov. 30 when they visit the Denver Nuggets on Monday. The Lakers have won 11 of 15 games since bottoming out at eight games below .500 and are making a charge at landing a Western Conference playoff spot. Denver has the fifth-best record in the West and is a sensational 23-3 at home. The Nuggets are 2-1 against the Lakers this season.

Denver has won eight consecutive home games since falling to the Washington Wizards on Jan. 18. The Nuggets notched a 113-99 road victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Saturday. The Lakers defeated the Dallas Mavericks 103-99 on Sunday and their recent hot stretch has moved them within 2 1/2 games of eighth-place Houston in the playoff race. “They are playing better and we need to continue to sustain the home court,” Denver coach George Karl said. “The Lakers aren’t a playoff team now, but they are playing like one.” Los Angeles is 10-18 on the road.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, Time Warner Cable SportsNet (Los Angeles), Altitude (Denver)

ABOUT THE LAKERS (28-29, 23-33-1 ATS): Kobe Bryant recently guaranteed that Los Angeles will make the playoffs and he has posted back-to-back terrific efforts against Portland and Dallas. Bryant scored 40 points in Friday’s victory over the Trail Blazers before coming back with 38 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists against the Mavericks. “That’s why he’s Kobe Bryant,” Lakers coach Mike D’Antoni said after the win over Dallas. “He’s not John Smith. No disrespect to John Smith, whoever he is. That’s what he does, that’s what he loves. That’s what he trains for.” Point guard Steve Nash scored 20 points – the first time he has reached that total with the Lakers.

ABOUT THE NUGGETS (35-22, 33-24-0 ATS): Point guard Ty Lawson has a career-best six consecutive 20-point outings after scoring 20 in the win over Charlotte. Lawson is averaging 26.2 points during the stretch as he has been looking to score more than he usually does. “I figure when I start being aggressive and getting to the lane, things happen for me whether it’s scoring or getting assists,” Lawson said. The fourth-year pro is averaging 16.3 points and 7.1 assists. Forward Danilo Gallinari is dealing with a thigh injury and his status will be firmed up in the hours prior to the contest. Gallinari leads the Nuggets with a 16.9 average.

TRENDS:

* Over is 5-1 in the last six meetings.
* Favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Under is 13-5 in the last 18 meetings in Denver.
* Lakers are 3-7 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Denver.

2. Lakers C Dwight Howard is averaging 13.4 rebounds over his last five games to raise his season mark to 11.9.

3. The Nuggets are 22-3 when holding opponents under 100 points.

Habs at Senators: What Bettors Need to Know

Montreal Canadiens at Ottawa Senators (+104, 5)

A recent injury to starting goaltender Craig Anderson hasn’t slowed the Ottawa Senators, who are on a season-high four-game winning streak. On Sunday, the Senators host the Montreal Canadiens for the third of four meetings between the Northeast Division rivals. Ottawa had already lost first-line center Jason Spezza and top defenseman Erik Karlsson to season-ending injuries when Anderson left Thursday’s game against the New York Rangers with an ankle injury. The Senators clawed out a 3-2 shootout victory and defeated Toronto by the same score at home on Saturday to trail Montreal by two points for the Northeast Division lead.

The Canadiens have points in their last seven games - with the only blemish being a 4-3 overtime loss to the New York Islanders on Thursday. Montreal starting goaltender Carey Price made 17 saves against the Rangers on Saturday for his second shutout in four starts, while Max Pacioretty has seven points his last five games - including his first four goals of the season. Rookie Alex Galchenyuk had a goal and an assist against the Rangers. Selected third overall in the 2012 draft, Galchenyuk has four points in as many games and 12 on the season.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, RDS, TSN Canadiens, Sportsnet East

ABOUT THE CANADIENS (12-4-2): Pacioretty did not receive any additional punishment from the league on Sunday following his boarding penalty on Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh. Rookie Brendan Gallagher returned to the lineup on Saturday after missing three games with a concussion. Gallagher has five goals and eight points in 14 games. Tomas Plekanec leads the team with eight goals and is tied with Pacioretty for the team lead in points (13). David Desharnais has five points in his last five games. Raphael Diaz leads team defensemen with 12 points.

ABOUT THE SENATORS (11-6-2): Colin Greening, who scored the winning goal and added two assists on Saturday, has five points on his three-game scoring streak. Greening went eight games without recording a point prior to this streak. Captain Daniel Alfredsson has four points in his last six games. Rookies Jakob Silfverberg and Mika Zibanejad have both contributed three points on Ottawa’s winning streak. Backup goaltender Ben Bishop has wins in his last three games.

TRENDS:

* The home team is 5-0 in the last five meetings.
* The under is 5-1 in Canadiens’ last six overall.
* The under is 3-0-1 in Senators’ last four Monday games.
* Senators are 5-1 in their last six after allowing two goals or less in their previous game.

OVERTIME:

1. The Senators defeated the Canadiens 5-1 at home on Jan. 30, but lost 2-1 in Montreal four days later.

2. Canadiens D P.K. Subban has eight points in 12 games since rejoining the team following a contract dispute. Montreal is 8-2-2 this season with Subban in the lineup.

3. Alfredsson, who is seven points away from reaching 1,100 for his career, has 104 points in 87 career games against the Canadiens.
