Lakers vs. Nuggets prediction
(7:30 p.m. ET. TNT)
The last time these teams saw ♑each other was in theꦅ Western Conference Finals, in which Denver pulled off a four-game sweep on its way to its first NBA title.
The world championship 🉐banner will be raised at Ball Arena on Tuesday night as the Nuggets sit as 4.5-point home favorites.
This is the s൲econd-straight season that LeBron James and the Lakers o✃pen on the road against the defending champions, as they fell 123-109 to the Warriors to tip off the 2022-23 season.
The underdog covered in six of eight meetings last season between these teams last year, although the Nuggets won and covered all three games🍬 at home.
The Lakers can say all the💫y want that this is just one of 82 games and it means the same as any other game, but L.A. definitely would look some revenge for getting swept out by the Nuggets.
