- Analysis
- It was a heartbreaking way to go down for the Lakers in Game 2. Jamal Murray's buzzer beater game winner sent Los Angeles home in the worst way possible. Down 2-0 against the defending champs. Even though the teams have had a couple days of rest now, I still believe that Murray's shot will still be in the heads of some of the Lakers. Los Angeles has been very strong at home this season, don't get me wrong. However, Denver simply dominates them every time they play it seems. As a matter of fact, they've now won 10 consecutive games against LAL (covering versus the spread in seven straight.) Having said that, I don't think that the Lakers will have enough juice in this critical Game 3 to out-duel Jokic and co. This play is on the Nuggets.
Score Prediction: 111-102 Nuggets
