The LA Lakers host an enticing matchup next in the NBA as they are set to welcome the Denver Nuggets. Both teams have already secured a spot in the postseason and sit bumper to bumper in the West standings. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
The Lakers are on a four-match winning streak and have lost just once in their last eight games. They won 142-130 over the Bulls at home, their sixth consecutive win in LA last time out. This run has confirmed at least a play-in spot for J.J. Redick’s men.
The Lakers are the fourth seed with a 41-25 record. One of their wins was achieved in Denver back in January. The Lakers did lose the most recent matchup with the Nuggets. If not for that setback, LA could be on an eight-game winning streak.
The Nuggets won 120-113 at home in that recent showdown with the Lakers and tied the series at 1-1. Form hasn’t been on the visitors' side, though, as they have sputtered and haven't won more than two games in a row since January.
David Adelman’s men will nonetheless arrive confident of a win in LA as they are coming off two big wins. The Nuggets returned to winning ways after back-to-back losses, dominating the Rockets 129-93.
They would follow up that result with an exciting 136-131 win over the Spurs in San Antonio. With the two wins, they are also assured of at least a play-in place and sit as the fifth seed with a 41-26 record.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
Our prediction for the LA Lakers vs the Denver Nuggets is that the Los Angeles Lakers wins. The Lakers and Nuggets have split the season series so far, with each team claiming one win from the first two games.
Denver won the most recent meeting two weeks ago, but we do not fancy them to win in LA despite coming off a big win in San Antonio. This is because they are coming up against a team that has been in red-hot form for longer. The Lakers have lost just once in their last eight outings and also have one of the best records at home this term.
If your team in the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
If you want to place a bet on the moneyline in the Los Angeles Lakers vs Denver Nuggets game, then bet365 is the place to do it. If the team that you have bet on takes a 20-point lead in the game, then bet365 will pay your bet out as a winner. If your team goes on to lose, you are still a winner.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
