San Antonio Spurs at Denver Nuggets: Best Bet

Moneyline: The Nuggets are still listed as favorites after dropping Game 1 to the Western Conference's seventh seed. We can trust them to fare at least moderately better from downtown and perform closer to their 35.1 percent success rate from the regular season. Back the home team at -290.

Against the spread: Denver closed at -5.5 in Game 1 and it's being spotted 7 points for Game 2. Roll with the veteran Spurs at -110 to keep it tight.

Over/under: The total's come down to 208.5 after Game 1 went under the 210.5 closing number. We'll go with the OVER with the help of a few more threes from Denver.
