Match Predict – Handicap (+2) for Lakers
The Lakers came close to beating the Boston Celtics but were a little unlucky. Overall, Ham’s men had a great game. If LeBron James and company play the same game, they’ll have no problem beating the Denver Nuggets. It’s likely to work out for the home team.
Total Points Over 234
The Lakers have scored under 120 points in recent games. It’s likely that Ham’s men won’t change their tactics. In that case, Denver will have to back the Lakers. It should be a high-scoring game.
Los Angeles Lakers vs Denver Nuggets: Key Numbers & Markets
Preliminary review and match prediction for Los Angeles Lakers vs Denver Nuggets
Los Angeles Lakers:
The Los Angeles Lakers have won only one game out of their last five against the Detroit Pistons (124-117). For a team that is always stating its ambitions for the upcoming playoffs, this is critically low.
Two of the last three games have not ended in regular time and Darvin Ham’s men have lost to their opponents in both overtime periods. Davis and James combined for 70 points in the last game they lost to the Boston Celtics, but that still didn’t help them.
Currently, the Los Angeles Lakers have 11 wins with 16 losses and are 12th in the conference table. The gap to the top eight is quite sizeable, but the Lakers are capable of making it back.
The Los Angeles Lakers have lost four of their last five games in the regular season.

Denver Nuggets:
The Nuggets are on a winning streak, winning three games in a row. The last was a win over the Washington Wizards (141-128), a victory that lifts Malone’s team into third place in the Western Conference.
In their last game-winning effort, Hyland-Jokic-Gordon scored 88 points on three, more than half of all the points they scored against the Washington Wizards.
So far, the Denver Nuggets have 17 wins with 10 losses and a not-so-pleasant recent head-to-head series with the Los Angeles Lakers, as the Nuggets have won only one game in the last three games between those teams.
In the last five meetings, the Denver Nuggets have averaged 124.6 points per game.
