SBG Global Opening Line: Nuggets - 3.5 , Total 211

The Denver Nuggets finally found a way to beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the playoffs as they took Game 2 by a score of 106-103 on Thursday. Now they will try and take control of the Western Conference Finals as the series moves to Denver for Game 3 on Saturday.

SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Nuggets at Home.

The Nuggets got 34 points from Carmelo Anthony and 27 points from Chauncey Billups in Game 2. Now the Nuggets get to go home where they have not lost since early March. Getting the win on Thursday was huge for Denver since they now have the home court edge. "There was just a demand that we had to win this game," head coach George Karl said. "There was an inner spirit. We're a much more smart, mentally tough team than you look at last year and what we are now. It's a great win."

The Lakers dropped to 7-2 at home in the playoffs and now they will have to find a way to win on the road. "They have home court advantage now. Now it's time to go to Denver, see if we can do the same," the Lakers Kobe Bryant said, "We're not the best road team in the NBA for no reason." (The Lakers were 29-12 on the road during the regular season.)
