The Nuggets are playing good on the year, but on the road Denver has become somewhat inconsistent. The Lakers at home are at least playing pretty much the same as normal and that will definitely help the Lakers in this game here. However, the big catch is the fact that neither one of these teams has been amazing on defense and with Jokic leading the Nuggets he will help push the Lakers offense as well and that is why I think this game hits the over, but I also look for the Lakers covering the spread.
