Nuggets-Lakers prediction

my best bet
Nikola Jokic over 26.5 points (-135 at Bet365)

my analysis
Denver Nuggets It wasn’t the most consistent team to start the 2024-25 season, but Nikola Jokic He’s definitely doing his part. While the big man averages 29.7 points, 13.7 rebounds and 11.7 assists, he puts up very high numbers with a 56.7% three-point shooting rate. Joker is a walking triple-double.

Upon his return on Friday, the 29-year-old picked up where he left off, scoring 37 points, grabbing 17 rebounds and giving away 10 cents. Even though Jokic didn’t get much offensive help in a surprising loss to the Luka Doncic-less Mavericks, he’s still trying his best every night.

Last season, Jokic averaged just under 30 points in three away games. Los Angeles Lakers. He has been top in points in four of his last five games and has averaged 31.7 points on the road so far in ’24-25.

Win or lose, Joker will be performing tonight in Southern California. Lock up extra points safely.

Nuggets-Lakers same game match

Nikola Jokic over 26.5 points

Anthony Davis over 0.5 threes

below 234.5

Anthony Davis is poised for an MVP campaign so far for the Lakers, averaging 31.3 points and 11.2 rebounds. He’s also shooting an effective 43.3% from downtown, and that will be the focus here.

Even though AD didn’t get many threes, his total was set at just 0.5. He has reached the Over in six of the last seven matches and has lost at least two trebles in five of those matches. He’s averaging 0.9 points on 2.1 shots per night, and I like Davis to make at least one 3-pointer tonight.

At first glance, you would believe there would be a lot of offense in this match as both teams are in the top 10 in terms of points. Neither the Lakers nor the Nuggets are very good defensively. However, the total number is set at almost 235, which is quite a high number.

We also need to look at trends. Under points have cashed in four of the last five matches, and that was with the set total being much, much lower than tonight. Denver is at the tail end of a back-to-back campaign and LA has scored more than 120 points just once in its last four games.

Get the gold.
