Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers Predictions

ESPN: Lakers have a 63% chance of winning

According to ESPN’s Matchup Predictor, the Los Angeles Lakers have a 63.5% chance of beating the Denver Nuggets.

Action Network: Denver Nuggets

Michael Arinze writes: “I’m leaning toward the Nuggets because my model projects Denver closer to a 4-point underdog. The total is a complete pass for me after steamrolling from 229.5 to a whopping 233. I project a total of 232 .9 points, so with the current number it has little value.”

Winners and whiners: Los Angeles Lakers

Staff writes: “The Lakers should be excited to beat the Nuggets. Denver has been bullying Los Angeles lately, and I expect the Lakers to win this game. Should Nikola Jokic return, he will have to deal with Anthony Davis, who is unstoppable. So far this season, Davis is putting up 31.3 points and 11.2 rebounds per game. James is also playing well and the Lakers’ offense has been excellent so far. Since I’m struggling on defense, I expect that the Lakers offense will make a difference The Nuggets will be dealing with fatigue after a tough home game against the Mavericks.”
