Secondly, at the end of the championship they had a stretch of 11 wins in 15 games, which allowed them to get into the play-in from the eighth place.

As for the game for the seventh seed in the West with New Orleans, the Lakers led by almost 20 points in the third quarter, allowed their opponent to get back into the game, but took the end - 110:106.

Expert Betting Tips

Denver is the favorite in the series with the Lakers, but the Lakers should not be underestimated. The end of the regular season showed that LeBron James is still as capable of basketball feats as Anthony Davis, who can only be prevented from proving himself by health problems. We believe in LeBron here and bet on the Lakers and expect a productive game.
