Denver Nuggets vs. Los Angeles Lakers Final Prediction
Have the Los Angeles Lakers hit rock bottom? The Lakers look like a lost team at times. LeBron James is asked to shoulder too much of a burden at the age of 37. In the era of NBA superstars, the Denver Nuggets have developed a core group of players that play together as a team.
The balance of the Nuggets is impressive and refreshing. On any given night, someone can step up and lead the team to victory. This game doesn't feel like it ends well for the Lakers, so I'll take the Denver Nuggets to pull away from LeBron and the Lakers.
Denver Nuggets -5.5 (-110)
