We’ve got two California teams closing out tonight’s nine-game slate, one of which is featured on Prime Video. That would be LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, and with it being a matchup against Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets, are we seeing a playoff series preview? Either way, we’ve got our best Lakers vs. Nuggets predictions for tonight.

Even if you’re a fan in LA without legal sports betting like Denver, you’ll still be able to enjoy some Lakers vs. Nuggets picks thanks to something else that we’ve also hooked you up with - a guaranteed Kalshi promo code bonus for all 50 states!

🤔 Lakers vs. Nuggets Predictions for NBA on Prime, 3/5

Not only could this end up being a playoff series this year, it nearly was last year as well, but Denver got the other LA team - the Clippers - instead. Perhaps that was good news, as the Lakers went 3-1 against the spread for Lakers vs. Nuggets predictions last year and beat them earlier this year as well.

That said, it was a game in which Nikola Jokic wasn't part of any NBA expert picks due to injury. It’s why LA was a 2.5-point favorite, which they covered in the 115-107 victory. Hat game stayed under the total for what it’s worth, but as for individual performances recently, we can’t ignore what Jamal Murray just did.

He put up 45 points; however, it was also against the Utah Jazz. Either way, between him, the triple-double threats of Jokic and Luka Doncic, the King, and more, there is so much to break down with this game. As it turns out, the best bet from our Lakers vs. Nuggets predictions is focused on a guy not mentioned there.

🔥 Lakers vs. Nuggets Best Bet: Austin Reaves Over 19.5 Points (Use Kalshi To Make Picks On Anything)

That “other” guy that’s on our radar is Austin Reaves. He’s far from a “normal” other guy anymore, but he was recently kept under his point total. Even still, we aren’t worried about that or having recently returned from injury; he just logged 37 minutes last game and performed very well against Denver.

He wasn’t available when these teams met about six weeks ago, but he was for all four meetings last season, coming through for Lakers vs. Nuggets predictions with ease. Across those clashes, he averaged 25.3 points, 8.5 assists, and five rebounds per game. The best was also one on the road in Denver, going for 37-13-8!

It also helps that both LeBron James and Luka Doncic are healthy to give Denver other guys to worry about, and even Deandre Ayton apparently wants to be in “rewrite-the-narrative” mode these days. Furthermore, we also saw Utah’s Keyonte George go for 36 points in 30 minutes against Jokic and company on Monday night.

That means good news for scoring from guard play, so we’re locking in the best bet from our Lakers vs. Nuggets predictions on Austin Reaves over 19.5 points (submit a trade with Kalshi prediction market).
