Game Preview
According to some sources, Luka is 260 pounds right now. He was out in the Lakers 110-102 win over the Trail Blazers in Portland. But Doncic should play in Denver where everyone expects to see him playing against Nikola Jokic.
In the meantime, Austin Reaves fills in Luka well, as he had 32 points against the Blazers, and seven assists in 40 minutes of play. LeBron was unstoppable, with 40 points and eight boards.
The Joker was again close to a triple-double. His Nuggets beat the Hornets 129-115, with Jokic scoring 29 points with 17 boards and 9 assists. Even though many put SGA in front of him in the NBA MVP race, the Nuggets’ center is the best player in the league, and that’s it.
One important NBA betting tip is that the Nuggets are 6-1 against the spread in the last seven games. Also, they have nine wins in a row, which makes them the hottest team in the league.
Lakers vs. Nuggets Head to Head
The Nuggets rolled over the Lakers in La 127-102 in late November. That’s the only game they played this year.
Lakers vs. Nuggets Predictions
The Lakers are in good form, but on the other hand, the Nuggets are even better. That’s why we have to bet on the hosts to post another triumph here. We pick them to cover a 3.5-point spread.
