Lakers vs. Nuggets Odds, Predictions, Favorites

The Nuggets are looking to become back-to-back NBA champs after taking home the title last year, and Denver is the odds-on favorite to win the series over the Lakers. Denver also swept L.A. in the Western Conference finals last year.

The Lakers are facing elimination after losing 112-105 to the Nuggets in game three. Now, for the second consecutive year, the Lakers are once again facing elimination from the playoffs thanks to a 3-0 deficit.

Still, this is a resilient L.A. team that hopes to continue the Lakers dynasty. Aside from last year’s lopsided loss, the Lakers have won seven of the eight playoff series between them and Denver. Los Angeles also leads the all-time series 138-91.

Although no NBA team in history has ever rebounded from a 3-0 deficit, the Lakers are taking it “one game at a time at this point,” James said in a post-game interview alongside teammate Anthony Davis after back-to-back losses to the Nuggets.

“You lose, you go home, so you come with the mindset of let’s get one [and] force a Game 5 and go from there. As long as you still have life, then you always have belief,” he added. “You play until the wheels fall off. That’s what it’s always about for me as a mindset and I know [Davis] feels the same way.”
