Denver Nuggets - Jamal Murray Points Over 21.5 (-110)
Jamal Murray is tied for second in the scoring for Denver with an average of 18.3 points per game. On Tuesday night, Murray scored 27 points in Denver's victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. Murray has scored 22 points or more in three of Denver's last seven games and five of the Nuggets' last 14. I am certain that Murray will score 22 or more points on Saturday as the Nuggets may have to play without star Nikola Jokic.
Los Angeles Lakers - Anthony Davis Rebounds Over 11.5 (-115)
Anthony Davis is leading Los Angeles in rebounds with an average of 11.4 per game. The power forward for the Lakers has had 12 or more rebounds in four of Los Angeles’ last five games and in nine of the Lakers' last 15. I am confident that on Saturday versus the Denver Nuggets, Davis will have 12 or more rebounds.
