Denver at Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Lakers must be totally demoralized as they just can't seem to come out on the winning end against the Nuggets, who have won the past 11 meetings. The last time the Lakers beat them was April 10, 2022. It will especially be difficult to recover from Tuesday's heartbreaker when LeBron James missed a 3-pointer and then Jamal Murray hit a jumper as time expired to give Denver a 101-99 victory to go up 2-0 in the series. The game went UNDER by 23 points and five of the past six meetings have gone UNDER. The Lakers are 2-5 ATS and 5-2 UNDER their past seven playing with two days rest. Denver is 16-6 UNDER on the road versus teams with .600 home winning percentages and 49-34-1 UNDER overall this season. Denver has experience in this situation and it won't have a letdown as the Nuggets swept the Lakers in four games in the 2023 playoffs. Play the Nuggets, and make it a Max Play on the UNDER.
