Lakers vs. Nuggets Head to Head
According to several online sources, both the western giants have been evenly matched 192 times in the regular season with the Lakers clinching 113 wins and the Nuggets far behind with 79 wins.
But these records have been computed since the distant past and now the situation has been completely reversed. When we only talk about this season’s performance both teams have faced each other five times including playoffs with Denver clinching all the wins.
Denver Nuggets
It is proclaimed by many that it’s impossible to defeat the healthy Nuggets in a seven game series in the current scenario. The team has not lost a single game in the last 10 matchups.
All the key players in the team are currently in-form and have a clean bill of health. The Canadian guard Jamal Murray is doing great, Porter Jr. had the biggest impact for Denver in the last game and superstar Nikola Jokic is playing mindfully as expected and is one of the few players in the path to claim the MVP trophy.
Los Angeles Lakers
With the home crowd the Los Angeles Lakers have the high chance to break the winning streak of the visitors. LeBron and AD are the key players to have an eye on.
“We converted some great shots but at the same time we also missed a lot of shots near the rim that throughout the season we’ve been making,” James said.
