7-2, +10.40 units, 78% in these playoffs
2.5* Lake Show/Nugs over 212 -110
Nuggets are a very high energy team at home, and after getting it done in LA to steal home court, they come home with all sorts of confidence and momentum. Nugs home court is rowdy like a college game. Chauncey is a top notch PG that knows how to get it done at the point. Nugs averaging a ridiculous point total at home during these playoffs in the 215+ range. They've eclipsed the 100 point mark in every home game this post season. The Nuggets NEED to have Game 1 here. You don't steal home court just to give it right back right when you get home. I think Nugs play with a lot of energy tonight.
Lakers come into these next 2 games knowing they only have to win 1 of 2 to steal home court back. They aren't in desperation mode yet. That means no lock down D from the Lakers tonight where they scrap every defensive possession. And after Kobe watched Lebron highlights all night last night, don't be surprised if #24 doesn't try to put on an offensive show of his own tonight. Kobe will try to go for 50 tonight with high energy on the offensive side of the ball.
In the wild west, I think we see a shoot out.
And of course, with these two teams so evenly matched right now, overtime isn't out of the question.
A fast-paced Western Conference game tonight in Denver.
