The Lakers pulled off a game 1 win on the road against the Grizzlies and Warriors. Los Angeles will aim to extend their postseason game 1 win streak to 3-0 tonight in Denver. That being said, we aren't so confident that LeBron and company will be able to pull it off. The Nuggets went 34-7 in Denver during the regular season, and are a perfect 6-0 at home in the playoffs. The Lakers finished with a record below .500 on the road during the regular season. All 4 of the Lakers road losses this postseason have been by double digits. From a betting standpoint, the Lakers have not been profitable as a road underdog (16-21 ATS). Betting the Nuggets as a home favorite has been highly profitable spot (27-16 ATS). Outside of the trends, the Nuggets hold a one day rest advantage over the Lakers. This Nuggets offense is far more efficient than both the Grizzlies and Warriors. Denver holds the best offensive rating this postseason amongst all qualifying teams (118.7). The Lakers have the better defensive rating, but the Nuggets have a much better overall net rating (8.6 compared to 5.1). These are the two best teams at scoring in the paint. Keep a close eye on the Anthony Davis versus Nikola Jokic matchup. We are going to lay the 6 points with the Nuggets, and root for their home court dominance to continue.
