Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

The Nuggets are likely to be without two of their starters in Caldwell-Pope and Murray, which sees them come into this match as the underdogs. The Lakers, on the other hand, are only missing Wood and are playing their best basketball of the season lately. While they were far from convincing last time out, we’re backing the Lakers to keep their good form going with a narrow win on their home court. Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Denver Nuggets prediction: Los Angeles Lakers to win the match.
