Both are coming off a loss, and the Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets will try to get back into the winner’s circle at the expense of the other on Saturday at the Crypto.com Arena. The Los Angeles Lakers saw their six-game win streak snapped on Thursday after dropping a close contest to the Orlando Magic, 119-118. Anthony Davis scored 39 points on 14-for-22 shooting, and LeBron James tallied 31 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists. However, the Lakers could not contain Magic’s rising star Franz Wagner, who exploded for 39 points and drained the 26-foot go-ahead trey with 3.1 seconds left on the clock. The Nuggets, meanwhile, suffered their third loss in four games despite another triple-double performance from the returning Nikola Jokic. The three-time MVP chalked up 33 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists, while Christian Braun and Michael Porter Jr. chipped in with 17 each. Unfortunately, the Nugget's defence was hardly felt by the Mavs, who shot 50.5 per cent from the field.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
The Lakers are -4.5 spread favorites against the Nuggets on Saturday, though I still have faith the Nuggets will continue their mastery over Los Angeles, whom they have beaten in 12 of their last 13 meetings. Nikola Jokic is back in the fold after missing several games due to personal reasons. The Nuggets star has been a thorn for the Lakers in the past few years, producing big-time numbers every time he faces the purple-and-gold. Moreover, the Lakers are 1-5 against the spread in their last six home games vs the Nuggets, which only highlights the latter’s dominance in their recent head-to-head showdowns. Our betting prediction for the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets: Bet on the Nuggets to win, +145, at BetMGM.

The Nuggets will win
