While the discussion on sports talk radio focuses on whether this Lakers team is built to win a championship or if LeBron James is heading into his final games in purple and gold, the team continues its regular season on Thursday in Denver.
Luka Doncic leads this bunch in points at 32.4 and assists at 8.3. James chips in with 21.6 points and 7 dimes. The Lakers have won three in a row heading into the Mile High City, where they will face the great Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets, who are ahead of them in the Western Conference standings. Denver is a 5-point favorite in NBA odds.
An interesting fact is that both teams have 12 losses at home and on the road each. Something has to give.
Pick: Lakers plus 5 points
