MIKE'S NUGGETS/LAKERS NBA FREE PICK

The Los Angeles Lakers put some pressure on the Denver Nuggets in Game 2 of the series, but they still came up short in the 101-99 loss. The Nuggets overcame a 20-point, second-half deficit, and I think it'll be extremely difficult for the Lakers to regroup following that loss.  

The Nuggets failed to cover the spread in the win, but they are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS loss, while the Lakers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS win. Additionally, the Lakers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 playoff games as an underdog of 0.5-4.5.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- Cincinnati are 5-3-3 in their last 11 home matches.

- Cincinnati are 3-2-1 in their last 6 matches.

- Colorado has conceded 16 goals in their last 10 matches.

Verdict: The Value is on the home favorite.

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR THURSDAY, 4/25:

My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Thursday was with the Denver Nuggets minus the points versus the Los Angeles Lakers. Denver (59-25) has won six of their last seven games after their 101-99 victory against the Lakers in Game Two of this series. The Nuggets rallied from a 59-44 halftime deficit — and they have covered the point spread in 6 of their last 9 games after trailing by 15 or more points in their last game. They have also covered the point spread in 5 straight games when playing for no more than the fifth time in the last 14 days. Los Angeles (49-37) has failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after a loss by six points or less. The Lakers have also failed to cover the point spread in their 3 previous games at home this season when the Total was set below 220. Take Denver plus the point(s). Best of luck — Frank.
