NBA Player Props Prediction
The Los Angeles Lakers basketball players did not have a recipe for the inspired and dominant offensive game of the Denver Nuggets. From the start of the match, they allowed the opponent to run around and score many easy points from the transition.
Coach Darwin Hamm decided to use three short players, Dennis Schroder, D’Angelo Russell, and Austin Reaves, as part of the starting five, and he made a mistake. When he raised the five in the second half and put in Rui Hachimura, the Lakers acted much better on both ends of the court and dramatically ended the match. We believe that they will resort to similar tactics in the upcoming clash.
D’Angelo Russell was the main target of the Denver Nuggets, who often finished offensive possessions over players guarded by the Los Angeles Lakers guard. Due to his physical inferiority, the former Warriors and Timberwolves basketball player was unable to slow down Caldwell-Pope, Bruce Brown, and Aaron Gordon.
D’Angelo Russell
Russell didn’t have his night in offense, either. He scored only 4 of 11 attempts, so the match ended with only eight points scored. He played only 26 minutes, and we won’t be surprised if he spends even less time on the court in match number two.
When everything is added up and subtracted, we think that the pick “under 13.5 points” has a certain value.
