Denver Nuggets at Los Angeles Lakers
The Denver Nuggets are dominating this series. They are leading 3-0 and are one game away from heading to the NBA Finals and Nikola Jokic is trying to will the Nuggets there. LeBron James and the Lakers will have to do everything in their power to prevent that and take this series back from the Nuggets.
The Lakers have the betting value tonight. LeBron James will do everything in his power to avoid a sweep. He is one of the greatest players of all time, and great players show up when the series is on the line. This game is in Los Angeles and will give the Lakers a better chance to win. Between home-court advantage and LeBron James, the Lakers will get a win in this series.
Bet: Los Angeles Lakers Moneyline (-158)
LeBron James will take control of this game tonight. He hopes to avoid getting swept in the series and wants to give the Lakers a chance at making the Finals. He averages 24 points per game in the series but will take more shot attempts this game. That will give James additional opportunities to score points in this matchup.
Bet: LeBron James Over 25.5 Points (-108)
Nikola Jokic might be the best all-around player in the NBA. He can do everything, which includes scoring and rebounding. During the postseason, Jokic is averaging 29.9 points and 13.2 rebounds. That average is above the 40.5 line. Jokic will do everything he can to get the Nuggets into the Finals and that will show in his stats tonight.
Bet: Nikola Jokic Over 40.5 Points & Rebounds (-106)
