Tonight, we got some exciting NBA Playoff action as the first round continues. For this basketball betting pick, we are looking at game 2 of the Western Conference quarterfinals best of 7 series. Thus, we examine the matchup between the No. 7 seed, Los Angeles Lakers and the No. 2 Seed Denver Nuggets. Can the Nuggets widen the gap or will the Lakers even the playing field? Here is my take on this game with my Lakers vs Nuggets NBA Betting Pick, prediction, and analysis!
The game will begin at 10:00 PM ET at Ball Arena giving the Nuggets the home advantage. Denver is the clear favorite with a -300 moneyline and a -7.5 pointspread. In addition, the sportsbooks are expecting a high scoring game with the total at 223.5. Looking at how the line has been moving, most people are betting on the over as the juice is at -115.
Many analytics models are giving the Nuggets a 75% chance of defeating Los Angeles, However, the odds of them covering the spread is not as good with such a large spread. For those betting on basketball, the total might be the best wager if you are worried them covering.
For NBA Bookies or those looking to become an NBA bookie, this game is a good exercise in watching the line closely. This is because you will be seeing a lot of shifting as most people bet on the favorite. However, it is also an opportunity as the line may start to move soon and give you a better money line odds.
