The best team in the Western Conference is about to get even better as center Andrew Bynum is set to return for the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday at 10:35pm EST against the Denver Nuggets. “I’m ready to go,” said “Just waiting on my release … I think tomorrow (Thursday) is possible.” The Lakers have been excellent in NBA odds with or without Bynum in the lineup but it is obvious to everyone how much Bynum will help in the playoffs. Getting Bynum back into shape may start on Thursday against the Nuggets. “We’ll probably assess how he feels tomorrow (Thursday) after today’s practice, and then make a judgment on that,” said head coach Phil Jackson. “He’s doing pretty good – we’re pleased with his progress. I don’t know how much more he can get out of the activity level that he’s doing right now. He’s got to get playing here pretty soon.” NBA odds makers at SBGGlobal have the Lakers -8.5 at home in NBA odds against the Nuggets with a betting total of 209.5.
