Los Angeles still is plagued by turnovers, but its Game 3 loss also could have been due to a letdown after its thrilling last-second win on Sunday when Anthony Davis hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer. LeBron James had 30 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds while Davis added 27 in a losing cause. Jamal Murray continued his stellar play with 28 points and 12 assists while Jerami Grant added 26 points and Nikola Jokic scored 22. The Lakers still have covered the spread seven of their last nine playing on one day of rest, and Denver already has gone down 3-1 in two previous series in this year's postseason. Los Angeles also needs to cut down on fouling as the Nuggets made 22 of 29 foul shots compared to 14 of 22 for the Lakers. Look for Los Angeles to bounce back. Play the Lakers to get the win and cover.
