Los Angeles Lakers vs Denver Nuggets Prediction and Best Bets

Sometimes, one team just has another team's number. That appears to be the case with the Nuggets and the Lakers.

The Lakers have tried with all of their might to find a way past the Nuggets, and try as they might, their efforts continue to come up short.

Don't expect that to change tonight. It says a lot about just how good Denver is that a team with two of the best players in NBA history is made to look so overmatched. But that is where we are, and that is where we will continue to be until and unless the Lakers somehow figure out something that they haven't yet.
