Nikola Jokic scored 24 points, and Michael Porter Jr. recorded a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds.

Prediction

Nuggets from the NBA playoffs. The Lakers simply must defeat their opponent on their home court and reduce the deficit in the series. Losing with a clean sweep is definitely unacceptable.

Our prediction is a Lakers win with a handicap of (-2.5) points at odds of 1.77.

Head-to-head meetings between the teams in the current playoff series have generally been quite high-scoring. In two out of three recent matches, the mark of 225 points was surpassed. The Lakers average 115 points in home games, while the Nuggets score 118 points on average in away games. Everything points to a high-scoring game today.

Our prediction is a total of over 222.5 points, including overtime, at odds of 1.72.

The Lakers are one of the most high-scoring teams. They ranked fourth in the West in points per game during the regular season (117.2). In the upcoming game on their home court, the team from the Golden State will also have to put a decent load on their opponent's basket. Moreover, the Lakers are playing at home.

Our prediction is that the Lakers will score over 113.5 points, including overtime, at odds of 1.88.
