Nuggets 3-0 Against Lakers This Season
The Nuggets have a 3-0 record against the Lakers this season, including a 122-109 win in Los Angeles on March 29.
Keys to the Series
The key to the series will be the play of Nikola Jokic, who is averaging 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 7.9 assists per game this season. If Jokic can continue to play at a high level, the Nuggets will be tough to beat.
Other Factors to Consider
Other factors that could impact the series include the health of Anthony Davis, who is questionable for Game 1 with a calf injury. The Lakers will also need to find a way to slow down Jamal Murray, who is averaging 21.2 points per game this season.
The Nuggets are the clear favorites to win the series, but the Lakers have the potential to make it competitive if Davis is healthy and they can get enough production from their supporting cast.
