Denver Nuggets at Los Angeles Lakers Preview & Picks

Los Angeles are tipped to make it three wins in a row at Denver’s expense.

Both teams have question marks over key players heading into this one, but Luka Doncic is fit to go for the Lakers and they are on a good run of form at home.

  • Los Angeles Lakers are 15-1 in their last 16 home games
  • Los Angeles Lakers are on an 8-game win streak at the Crypto.com Arena
  • Denver Nuggets are 3-3 in their previous 7 games
  • The Under has cashed in 7 of the last 10 meetings

Head To Head

  • Los Angeles Lakers lead the all-time series 140-97
  • Denver Nuggets won 131-126 when the two teams last met on March 14

Denver Nuggets Form

Denver head to Los Angeles on the back of a victory, but in inconsistent form with three defeats in their last six games.

The Nuggets have not managed back-to-back wins since the first few days of March, when they backed up a 116-110 victory over Sacramento with a 149-141 overtime success against Phoenix.

They then lost 127-103 at Oklahoma City, before avenging that loss to the Thunder with a 140-127 win the following day.

Denver then returned home for a 115-95 defeat to Minnesota, but hit back immediately to beat the Los Angeles Lakers, 131-126.

The Nuggets again failed to follow up a win as they lost 126-123 to Washington, although they did issue a quick response in the form of a 114-105 win at Golden State.

Los Angeles Lakers Form

Los Angeles go into this matchup having bounced back from a rough road trip with back-to-back wins.

The Lakers were on a red-hot run of form when they went out on the road just over a week ago, having won their previous eight games.

That streak was halted by a 111-101 defeat in Boston, and that proved to be the start of a four-game skid on their travels.

Los Angeles lost 111-108 in Brooklyn, 126-106 at Milwaukee and 131-126 when they visited Denver.

The Lakers have turned around their form since returning home though, following up a 107-96 victory against Phoenix with a 125-109 win over San Antonio.

Verdict

Both teams have key talent on the injury report, so we suggest keeping an eye on this before placing your bet.

However, the Lakers do know Doncic is available and they have won 15 of the last 16 at home, so we lean towards the hosts.
