Betting on the Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers have had a fateful start to the season. Los Angeles team has lost its first three games against the Warriors, Clippers and Trail Blazers, leaving a poor start and occupying the last place in the NBA’s Western Conference.
Despite having stars the size of LeBron James and being a team that invests heavily financially to win the championship, the lack of scoring has taken a toll on them. In this Lakers vs. Nuggets game, the visitors will find Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, a former player on the roster, and a defensive player with a good long-range shot that is so lacking in this tournament.
Betting on the Denver Nuggets
- Regular Season Record: 2-2
- Spread of BetMGM: -6.5
- Moneyline of BetMGM: -250
- Over/Under from BetMGM: 227.5
The Denver Nuggets are 10th in the Western Conference. In their last three games, the Nuggets have wins over the Warriors and Thunder, but lost to the Utah Jazz. In this Lakers vs. Nuggets clash, in addition to wanting to achieve the law of the ex with Caldwell-Pope, the Denver team will seek to stand up well defensively to intimidate the attacks of the Californians.
Getting back on track for Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. remains the main limiting potential within the Michael Malone-led team, however, Nikola Jokic has started his season as he finished the last one: on pace for a third consecutive MVP award.
JefeBet Prediction
For this Lakers vs Nuggets matchup, the style of play and previous results make us lean towards the Denver Nuggets as winners. The Darvin Ham-led Los Angeles squad still has a lot of work to do to find the ideal starting five, let alone the full rotation that their opponents will face for the rest of the season.
The Nuggets are a much more compact team despite their injuries and roster changes for this season.
Prediction: Denver Nuggets win by 7 points.
