Los Angeles Lakers vs Denver Nuggets Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA

 by Steve Ashfield | in Basketball Predictions

The Western Conference final in the NBA sees the LA Lakers take on the Denver Nuggets. The Lakers are the top seeds and would have been expecting to take on local rivals, the LA Clippers in this final. However, the Denver Nuggets made a great comeback to oust the Clippers 4-3, hence the later start of this final. The winners take on either Miami Heat or the Boston Celtics in the final, with the Heat currently 2-0 up. 

The Lakers have won 16 NBA titles (some while based in Minneapolis) but their last appearance in the final was in 2010. Their opponents have never made it to the NBA Final, This is their third conference final and both were lost to the Lakers in 1985 and 2009. The Lakers beat Houston 4-1 in the semi-final, that followed up a win over Portland in the first round by the same score. In the regular season, they won 52 games, six more than Denver managed. Their last three wins in the semi-final were by double figure margins. They finished the Rockets off with a 23 point win, with Lebron James in top form scoring 29 points. The Nuggets are the comeback kings after defeating the Clippers and Utah Jazz 4-3. They had to win the last three matches to make it to the final, where they now bid to beat the other LA side. It's the Lakers who are in top form though and they can get the series off to a start with a win here.
