NBA Preview: Nuggets vs. Lakers (April 9th)

Denver Nuggets at Los Angeles Lakers Thursday, April 9, 2009 10:30 PM ET

The Betting Numbers

As of this writing, no NBA line has been released but we should expect to see the Lakers favored anywhere from five to eight points and a total well over 210.

2008-09 Season Series

The Lakers won the first two meetings this season, but both of those victories took place in November. The Nuggets gained some revenge with a home win in February as two-point home underdogs.

CBB NIT Preview: Bears vs. Nittany Lions (Apr. 2)

Baylor Bears vs. Penn St. Nittany Lions Thursday, April 2, 2009 7:00 PM ET

The Betting Numbers

This game opened at LVSC with Baylor -3 and the total set at 136. It would not be surprising to see this line come down as Penn St. is once again likely to have the majority of fan support at the Garden. Surprisingly, Baylor is favored by more points in the NIT championship game than it was favored by in the semifinal game while Penn St. is getting fewer points this time around which does in fact make sense.
