Nuggets vs Lakers Series Bets wonders how many games it will take for the Denver Nuggets to advance past the Los Angeles Lakers. Give Los Angeles credit for dethroning Golden State, but Denver (-155 series favorite) looks poised to win the NBA Title. Could the Lakers shock experts and bettors alike over the next two weeks? That appears not likely. MyBookie online sportsbook offers some more options in this Western Conference Final.
Nuggets vs Lakers Series Bets are fun because of Nikola Jokic versus Anthony Davis. Again, this is because when the two frontline players are on, they create and break down defenses like few players can. Denver is likely expected to play Golden State in the Western Conference Final. However, Los Angeles powered past the Warriors in six tough games. Anthony Davis and the Lakers’ ability to get to the foul line were huge reasons.
Game 1 starts Tuesday night between the two teams, and already the predictions are rolling in on what expects to be the most polarizing matchup of the series. Yes, there are others. However, how does Los Angeles contain the two-time MVP in Jokic? Jokic basically averaged a functional triple-double during the regular season. In the playoffs, the center has raised his game at least to another level.
So, some suggest it is possible that Denver can again win on the road. Now, the demolition the Nuggets unleashed on Phoenix in Game 6 was one for the ages. Denver scored 81 points in the first half and was up 30 points in Phoenix. The second half mattered little as the Nuggets cruised to an easy win. If Phoenix cannot keep up, how will the Lakers slow down Denver early in the series?
Yes, there exists the possibility that Denver could win this series in five games or less, but it is more likely that Los Angeles forces this to six or even seven games. Wow, that +180 for Under 5.5 games is tempting, but the -155 series win is safer. Please watch for any movement here. Denver showed the ability to win at Phoenix at any time. No one would be surprised to see that happen in Los Angeles. It is why we like Denver to advance here.
These Nuggets vs Lakers Series Bets sneak some looks as some prop-up options exist. This is where things get fun. Denver expects to win this battle of the two West “heavyweights.” Los Angeles can push Denver in a way Golden State could not. On the other hand, Denver appears to have another gear or two we only saw glimpses of in the Phoenix series.
At Vegas Betting, we ponder the likelihood of going a little against the grain. The belief is that Denver will win at least one game in Los Angeles and potentially two. Anything can happen in the NBA Playoffs, but the Nuggets trio of Jamal Murray, Nikola Jokic, and Aaron Gordon has younger depth than Los Angeles. Denver is also a bit more durable. There is always that worry an Anthony Davis injury can happen at any time.
Naturally, the scare lies in the fact that Anthony Davis is the one main reason Los Angeles could stay in this series. However, it is that injury concern that frightens so many. Suppose Davis cannot play the full series, that makes Denver’s life that much easier. Denver, as constructed, is almost like a super team. For better or for worse, the Laker’s defense and ability to slow Jokic and company down squarely rests on Davis.
NBA Vegas online betting sites enjoy a few possible outcomes for Denver. Since buzz got raised for a 4-2 result, this got boosted for Denver at +550. Darvin Ham executed a brilliant game plan versus Golden State, but this is Denver. The trio of Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Aaron Gordon showed their mettle as Denver got depth scoring. With Michael Malone ready for anything, the Nuggets vs Lakers Series Prop Bets take a long shot here.
The Nuggets vs Lakers Series Bets beg, can we aim higher? Of course, there are always more possibilities and combinations at the ready. Denver and the series spread even come in at a reasonable +160. One is covered as long as the Nuggets win in four, five, or six games. That offers a bit more cost certainty.
NBA prop bets float out some other wagers too. Suppose the series ends in exactly six games; that even pays out at +190. That is even better than the +160, which covers the series spread. One could perhaps parlay the two together if one wonders what kind of numbers that would carry, then wonder no more. That pays out at around +650 currently.
Keep a vigilant eye on the ever-shifting series numbers because live betting a series outcome can profit if a bettors times that right too. Denver is at +225 to win the NBA Title.
At VegasBetting, we are mindful that the Celtics and Heat start Wednesday. The goal is to gather more data and deliver more winners. Good luck!
