Lakers vs Nuggets: Game 3 Odds, Picks, and Predictions
Nuggets Favored by 7.5 Points in Game 3
SportsLine's model predicts a Nuggets victory
With the Lakers' season on the line, the NBA odds favor the Nuggets by 7.5 points in Game 3 of their first-round playoff series. SportsLine's model has made its prediction, and it's backing the Nuggets to cover the spread and win the game outright.
The Nuggets are 7-0 against the spread in their last seven games against the Lakers, and they have won four of the last five meetings between the two teams. Nikola Jokic is averaging 27.7 points, 13.3 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game in the playoffs, and he will be a tough matchup for the Lakers' defense.
The Lakers, meanwhile, are 1-4 against the spread in their last five games, and they have lost four of their last five games overall. Anthony Davis is questionable for Game 3 with a calf injury, and his absence would be a major blow to the Lakers' chances of winning.
SportsLine's model has simulated Game 3 of the Lakers vs. Nuggets 10,000 times, and the Nuggets have won 56% of the simulations. The model also projects the Nuggets to win by an average of 7.8 points.
Based on the model's predictions, the Nuggets are a strong pick to cover the spread and win Game 3 of their first-round playoff series against the Lakers.
