Best Lakers-Nuggets Player Prop Bet
Anthony Davis O/U 23.5 Points
Davis has put together three quality games to start the season. The Lakers as a team cannot say the same. Their roster construction with little to no shooters is hurting them. Los Angeles is making only eight 3’s per game, the last in the NBA. Tonight, they’ll have their hands full as 5.5-point underdogs to the Denver Nuggets, led by Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
Head coach Darvin Ham has moved Davis to the center position, so he’ll see most of Jokic on defense tonight. Since Davis was traded to the Lakers, he and Jokic have matched up eight times. Davis is averaging over 24 points per game and has surpassed this line in six of those games. Jokic is not known to be a great defender; opponents have an offensive rating of 120 while Jokic is on the floor.
Davis surpassed this line in 19 of 35 games last season when playing at least 30 minutes. The Lakers desperately need a win tonight, and without Westbrook, look for LeBron James to feed Davis in the pick-and-roll game.
