Here’s how we’re betting Thursday’s contest, which tips off at 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Anthony Davis #3 of the Los Angeles LakersThe Nuggets and Lakers delivered one of the best games of the entire postseason in Game 1, which saw Denver build a 21-point lead that Los Angeles cut to three in the final minute before ultimately falling short.
The first half of Tuesday’s contest went about as expected: Nikola Jokic nearly had a triple-double by halftime – he eventually finished with 34 points, 21 rebounds, and 14 assists – and Denver’s offense ran roughshod at home behind its two-time MVP. While Hachimura deserves credit for his two-way effort in that second-half comeback, the real key was freeing up Davis to patrol the paint and limit the energy expended banging down low with Jokic.
His dominance down low also sprung the likes of Austin Reaves, who scored 11 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter.
