Los Angeles Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets: Predicting Game 2 of the NBA Playoffs
Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals
Monday, April 24, 2023
The Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets will face off Monday in Game 2 of their best-of-seven Western Conference quarterfinal series. The Nuggets won Game 1, 122-105, behind a dominant performance from Nikola Jokić. Jokić finished with 33 points, 18 rebounds, and 12 assists.
The Lakers will need to find a way to slow down Jokić in Game 2 if they want to tie the series. The Nuggets have played 41 games with over 2235 total points, so they know how to score. The Lakers will also need to do a better job of taking care of the basketball. They committed 17 turnovers in Game 1.
The Nuggets are the favorites to win Game 2, but the Lakers have a chance to steal a game on the road. It should be a close game, and it could go either way.
Prediction: Nuggets win 112-107
