The game here for the Lakers will be another very impressive game for the Lakers. Yes, the Nuggets were able to bounce back in the Clippers series, but were definitely coming into the game tired and having to look towards the Lakers series who were well rested in the game. Look for the fatigue factors to continue to a point for Denver, which impacts the defense as Davis proves to be the better big man again. Final Score, Los Angeles Lakers win and cover 122-110.
