Nuggets Poised for Game 2 Victory Against Winless Lakers
Denver Holds Advantage in Series
The Denver Nuggets seek to extend their 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven Western Conference series against the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 2 on Monday.
Nuggets swept the season series 3-0, dominating the Lakers in all three matchups. The Lakers enter Game 2 as the NBA's only winless team (0-5) in the playoffs.
Lakers Odds Stacked Against Them
The odds are heavily in favor of Denver, with the Lakers listed as +190 underdogs on DraftKings Sportsbook. The Nuggets, on the other hand, are favored at -190 to claim Game 2.
Despite their struggles, the Lakers will need to find a way to generate offense against the Nuggets' stingy defense. Denver has held its opponents to an average of 103.6 points per game in the playoffs, the second-lowest mark in the league.
Nuggets Expecting Tough Battle
While the Nuggets are confident in their abilities, they are not taking the Lakers lightly. Denver knows that any team can be dangerous in the playoffs, especially one with the experience of LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
"They're a great team, and they're going to make adjustments," said Nuggets coach Michael Malone. "We have to be ready for that and make sure we're playing our best basketball."
Game 2 of the Nuggets-Lakers series will tip off at 8:30 PM MST on Monday night. The game will be televised on TNT.
