Nuggets vs Lakers Same Game Parlay odds: +590

LA Lakers Money Line (-230)

It’s the moment of truth for these Lakers in Game 3 as they look to pull one back against Denver. Both Games 1 and 2 were close, but masterful performances by Jokic and Murray were just too much for LA. When trailing 2-0 in Conference Finals series, NBA teams are 6-56 all-time. With 2 of those 6 series wins featuring LeBron James led teams back in 2007 and 2018, I think it gives the Lakers enough confidence they can turn things around. LeBron needs to be more aggressive and attack the inside as his three-ball is not falling in not only this Playoff series, but the entire postseason. In Game 2, although he shot close to 50%, he missed all 6 of his shots from deep. Anthony Davis on the other hand, went 4-for-15 from the floor and only scored 18 points. We saw AD dominate in Game 1 and if we are able to get a repeat of Game 1’s performance here tonight, the Lakers should be capable of winning this game and covering the spread. Take the purple and gold on the Money Line.

Dennis Schroder to Score 10+ Points (+170)

D’Angelo Russell has been a disaster in this series and it’s time for the Lakers to move on from him. Game 3 is a pivotal game, losing it is not an option and I think head coach Darvin Ham is aware of it, so adjustments are on the way. One of those adjustments will be either starting Schroder over Russell or playing him extended minutes after he comes off the bench. In the 2 games played in Denver the Lakers were -41 on the +/- when Russell was on the floor in 59 minutes. Without him in 37 minutes they were +30, so it’s pretty clear that this is just a bad match-up for him. Schroder has had his moments in the Warriors series averaging 10.3 points per game, while clearing the 10 point line 4 times. During the regular season he averaged 14.5 points per game vs Denver and with role players playing a lot better at home than on the road, I expect him to show up here as James and Davis cannot do it alone.

LeBron James Over 9.5 Rebounds (+104)

Has father time finally caught up with LeBron James? That’s what some people are saying after the first 2 games in Denver. James has played the 2nd most minutes in NBA history and playing at the altitude in Denver certainly didn’t help him. He looked gassed on a few possessions in Game 2, taking unnecessary threes and making mistakes that are uncharacteristic of him. The good news is he still makes an impact in other areas of the game and his rebounding numbers back that up. This series he’s averaging 10.5 boards per game, while during this postseason run he’s at 10.1 per game. I think we’ll see even more defense in Game 3, as that’s the only way the Lakers get a win here. With the assumption the role players will play better at home, I think James focuses a bit more on rebounding and getting his teammates involved here, as opposed to trying to score 30 points.
