The NBA Conference Finals begin tonight, as the Denver Nuggets travel to Los Angeles to face the Lakers, while the Magic travel to Cleveland on Wednesday to begin their series with the Cavs.

The Lakers are -275 favorites to win the West, while Cleveland is a whopping -700 to defeat Orlando.

The Lakers opened as 7-point favorites against Denver and the line has dropped to LA -6.5 at most places. The total is hovering around the opening number of 214.5.

The Lakers have gotten 52-percent of the wagers against the spread, while many who are backing Denver have taken the Nuggets on the money line, as Denver is getting 65-percent of those wagers.

Meanwhile, Cleveland is favored by nine points in Wednesday's game.

For those who don't enjoy basketball, there is a full slate of baseball games, along with the second game of the Western Conference Finals in the NHL between the Red Wings and the Black Hawks.
