Lakers vs Nuggets Free NBA Parlay Picks

• Leg 1: Denver Nuggets ATS -13.5 (-110)

The Denver Nuggets are an elite home team, going 24-6 SU and 18-12 ATS at Ball Arena. They’ve covered the spread in four of their last five home games and have owned this Lakers matchup, winning and covering in 12 of the previous 13 meetings.

L.A., meanwhile, is in the middle of a brutal schedule stretch—playing their third game in four nights. They’ve been respectable on the road (16-15 ATS), but injuries have caught up. The Lakers are missing their best playmaker and closer with James out. Denver, led by Jokic, should control the game, especially late.

Bet on Nuggets -13.5 (-110)

• Leg 2: Lakers vs Nuggets Over 229.5 Points (-110)

Denver’s offense has been cooking, averaging 121.5 PPG in their last five games while shooting 50.8% from the field—the best in the NBA. The Lakers’ defense, while respectable, has been inconsistent, giving up 118+ points in two of their last three games.

Historically, this matchup trends toward high-scoring affairs. The total has gone over in four of the last five meetings, with an average of 234.2 PPG in those games. Even without LeBron, the Lakers still have plenty of scoring threats in Anthony Davis and D’Angelo Russell. Expect another offensive showcase and the score to eclipse the O/U NBA game odds.

Bet on Lakers vs Nuggets Over 229.5 (-110)

• Leg 3: Nuggets Race to 20 Points (-250)

Denver is among the best first-quarter teams in the NBA, ranking 4th in first-quarter scoring (30.2 PPG) at home. The Lakers, meanwhile, tend to start slow, ranking 19th in first-quarter scoring (27.1 PPG) on the road.

The Nuggets have also won the race to 20 in four of the last five games, including both matchups against L.A. this season. Denver should jump out early, with the Lakers dealing with injuries and playing at altitude.

Bet on Nuggets to Score 20 Points First (-250)
