Lakers at Nuggets Prediction

Los Angeles Lakers at Denver Nuggets

9:45 PM EST

Spread: Nuggets by 2.5, Lakers +115, Nuggets -135, O/U: 202

I haven’t done a handicapping post in a while but with the NBA playoffs in full swing I wanted to get it going again. I decided to start with this one because I am really confident in the Lakers tonight. As much as the NBA seems about physical talents and skills, it is also a lot about how each team approaches the individual games mentally. Last game the Lakers (who I think are certainly the better team in the series) didn’t seem to care much about the game and came out flat and ended up getting crushed in the 1st quarter by the underdog Nuggets and weren’t able to claw their way out of that hole and lost.
