Lakers vs. Nuggets Prediction:
Take the Lakers. This feels like too many points in a series that has been close throughout. Los Angeles finally got over the hump by just taking a game against Denver on Saturday and I think they are able to build off that momentum in this one. Lebron and AD are going to show out in an elimination spot.
