NBA predictions, picks, and odds for the Los Angeles Lakers at Denver Nuggets on 4-20. NBA Playoffs best bets and same-game parlay analysis.
The NBA playoffs are where stars shine the brightest and rarely miss a minute of action. Case-in-point Anthony Davis, who will make the most of his extended playing time in Game 1 of Lakers vs. Nuggets, as our NBA betting picks explain.
The Nuggets are the defending NBA champions, and they are -310 favorites to win this best-of-seven series against the Lakers, who had to beat the Pelicans in the play-in round to secure a postseason berth. While the Nuggets are essentially the exact same team as a year ago, the Lakers are better constructed and have found a lineup that meshes well with each other in 2023-24. Although L.A. doesn't have Denver's depth , that becomes less of a factor in the playoffs when rotations are shortened and stars rarely come off the floor.
The Nuggets are obviously a very good team in their own right, finishing the regular season with a 57-25 record and a net rating of +5.5. However, they aren't built to take advantage of two of the Lakers biggest flaws: turnovers and transition defense. Denver is just 26th in the league in opponent turnover rate and ranks 28th in average possession length, so they aren't going to pile up points on the fast break. That should help the Lakers keep Game 1 within the number.
