Los Angeles Lakers vs Denver Nuggets Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Simon Day | in NBA Picks

The LA Lakers will be looking to build on their shock Game 4 victory over the Denver Nuggets, when the teams lock horns again on Monday night. After cruising into a 3-0 series lead, most experts assumed Denver would complete a 4-0 sweep and cruise into the next round. However, a LeBron James inspired Lakers team upset the odds to claim a 119-108 win and prolong the series. Despite that LA win, Denver are still heavy favorites to win Game 5 and are priced at just 1.32 to complete a 4-1 series win. 

In the Regular Season, the Nuggets were once again one of the NBA's top teams. Their 57-25 record was the joint best in the Western Conference and earned them the number two seed. Meanwhile, the Lakers struggled for consistency all season, especially on the road, but still did enough to record a 47-35 record and 8th place in the Conference.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

This will either be the final game of the series, or the next step in one of the most unlikely comebacks in NBA history. Whilst we would love to see the Lakers put another win on the board, we just can't see them repeating their Game 4 heroics against a Nuggets side that are sure to be fired up in front of their home crowd. The bookies clearly agree with us, so there is little value in betting on a Denver win. However, we believe they will want to put on a big performance after the Game 4 defeat, so our prediction for Denver Nuggets vs LA Lakers is: Nuggets (-7.5) to win, 1.94 at FanDuel.

Prediction:
