by 1 month ago The Western Conference finals will be a rematch from the thrilling 2020 one that took place in the ‘bubble’ with the Denver Nuggets taking on the Los Angeles Lakers. Now, we have home courts in play, including two imposing ones with each team unbeaten at home in the playoffs. The Lakers, once on the outside looking of the playoffs all together have escaped the NBA Play-In Tournament and are now four wins away from the NBA Finals. However, they must now face two-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic and the top seed in the West Nuggets. The Nuggets rolled past the Suns in the second round and look like the most complete roster in the league, but the Lakers have Anthony Davis at his best and the all-time points leader in LeBron James. This is set to be an epic matchup that will be decided by Jokic’s excellence and Davis’ rim protection, two of the best big men the sports has ever seen. Let’s get to the odds and see who will go to the NBA Finals.

Despite a valiant push through the second half of the season, the Like their last appearance, the Lakers will be the No. 7 seed in the play-in game. This time, they will play the Wolves at home. The Lakers have picked up wins over both sides in the second half of the regular season with their new-look rosters. The Lakers have a history in the play-in game, having been in the inaugural version of it in 2021. That time, the Lakers were the No. 7 seed and knocked off the Warriors in the first game. This season, a play-in game felt out of reach for much of the season as the Lakers languished below .500 for the first 50 games of the campaign. The team ultimately did just enough to stay close to the teams above them, so that when they reshaped the roster at the trade deadline, they could make a push. Their push took them all the way through the play-in standings and had them positioned to even play their way out of the play-in game entirely, but The Lakers very recently played the Timberwolves in one of their many “most important games of the season” in the home stretch of the regular season. That contest took place in Minnesota and the If you’re looking for some positives, Minnesota looks to be in complete disarray heading into the contest.

Sure, it was time for the Lakers to rejoice, to reset with three days off before they meet the Nuggets in Game 1 on Tuesday night in Denver, to recalibrate after having dealt with Golden State’s dangerous trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. The preparation never stops for Davis and James, and so they thought back to 2020, when the Lakers defeated the Nuggets in five games in the Western Conference finals in the bubble on the Walt Disney World sports campus near Orlando, Fla. Here the Lakers and Nuggets are again, set to meet again with a chance to reach the NBA Finals on the line. “It’s funny, but me and Bron talked about it earlier, about going back and watching that series to kinda see what we did to kinda figure out how we can best match up and get victories over them,” Davis said late Friday night after posting a double-double of 17 points and 20 rebounds. “So, we’ll go back and look at it. I think the biggest key will be making the ball find the guys we want it to find, just play off of that.” LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Austin Reaves played pivotal roles in the Lakers’ dominant Game 6 win over Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. The Lakers and Nuggets split the 2022-23 regular-season series 2-2, with each team winning their games at home. The games were played before the Lakers made the trades that have put them in this position, Ironically, the Lakers’ first win of the season was a 121-110 defeat of the Nuggets, which broke a five-g...
