10* *Lakers/Nuggets* GAME 1 MONEY-MAKER > > SPECIAL PRICE!
(NBA) Denver vs. LA Lakers, 09/18/2020 9:00 PM, Score: 114 - 126
Point Spread: 7.00 | -108.00 Denver (Away)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Nuggets (10* MONEY-MAKER).

Both teams have struggled in the first games of their series so far in the playoffs. The Lakers lost the first game vs. the Blazers, before then winning four straight, and then they lost the first to the Rockets, before then posting four wins in a row. The Nuggets have had to come back from two 3-1 deficits to advance and I think they carry over their momentum from their recent epic upset of the Clippers. Denver is getting unbelievable play from big man Nikola Jokic and the Lakers are going to be forced to double him. The Nuggets' bench is producing and Denver has been "lights out" defensively. Also, the Lakers are just 1-5 ATS in their last six when playing on three or more days rest, while the Nuggets are 5-1 ATS in their last six as an underdog. Outright win?! Of course, but I'm grabbing the points!

T.M. Prediction: 104-102 Nuggets.
