Denver Nuggets Form

Denver go into this game with the chance to clinch the series after winning each of the first three meetings.

The Nuggets marched into the postseason with a 57-25 record that earned them second place in the Western Conference.

They entered the playoffs in good form too, having won four of the final five games on their schedule to set up this meeting with Los Angeles.

Denver drew first blood as they downed the Lakers 114-103 in the opening game, and backed that up in the Game 2 as they came back from 20 points to win 101-99 courtesy of a buzzer-beater.

The Nuggets had no such issues in their first road game of the series thouhg, as they ran out 112-105 winners on Thursday night.

Los Angeles Lakers Form

Los Angeles go into this game knowing that one more defeat will bring an end to their season.

The Lakers went 47-35 during the regular season to claim a place in the Play-In Tournament, and they went into that in great form having won 11 of their final 13 regular season games.

They clinched their postseason berth with a 124-108 victory in New Orleans, but they have not managed a win since.

Los Angeles started this playoff series on the road and dropped back-to-back games in Denver, losing 114-103 and 101-99.

The Lakers hoped to turn things around on the home court in Game 3, but instead they were beaten 112-105 to find themselves behind the 8-Ball.

Verdict

Denver's dominance of Los Angeles is too much to ignore - it has been a long time since the Lakers beat the Nuggets and that is unlikely to change here.
