They owned an NBA-best +15.4 home net rating in that span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>L.A. beat Denver at home in December, 126-122, as a 4-point underdog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:112918\">Embed: #112918<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/basketball\/nba?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_nba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Full NBA betting markets<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nba-injury-report?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=injury_reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NBA injury report<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nba\/top-players?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=stats_pages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NBA stats &amp; standings<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NBA SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong>Jokic 2+ threes <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>(-165):<\/strong> Jokic found new heights as a scorer this season, and that has a lot to do with his willingness to shoot more from 3-point range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jokic set career-highs across the board beyond the arc, averaging 2.0 threes on 4.7 attempts (41.7 3PT%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael Porter Jr. is dealing with a shoulder injury that has him listed as questionable for tonight.
