Denver Nuggets vs. Los Angeles Lakers
Saturday, April 27, 2024 – 08:30 PM ET at crypto.com Arena
The AI Model believes the Nuggets and Lakers will combine for 220 points. However, the total at top-rated sportsbooks is currently at 218, meaning the Model believes in the Over tonight.
Los Angeles Still Shooting Well
The Lakers haven’t scored at a super high rate in the NBA Playoffs. However, the Lakers have ultimately shot at least a 52.2% effective field goal percentage in every game.
If the Lakers can get to the foul line more or add more offensive rebounds, their offensive numbers against the Nuggets will start to get really high.
The Turnovers Are Still Key For The Nuggets
On the other hand, the Nuggets continue to reduce turnovers. In all three games against the Lakers, Denver has turned the ball over no more than 13.4% of the time.
Meanwhile, when the Nuggets turned the ball over more in Game 3, Denver also added more offensive rebounds, gaining nearly 32% of offensive rebounds in Game 3.
The Nuggets will never have to worry about scoring.
The Pick
There’s no guarantee the Lakers win, but it’s unlikely they’ll be blown out. Let’s grab the Over with both teams scoring enough points to get there.
