Top Cappers News
Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets are hitting their stride at the perfect time as they surge toward the postseason. They have been nearly unstoppable, stringing together nine consecutive victories to propel themselves into second place in the highly competitive Western Conference. With momentum on their side, Denver looks like a legitimate title contender, and they will aim to extend their dominant run in this upcoming matchup.
While Luka Doncic is expected to return to the lineup, the biggest concern for Los Angeles remains its defensive struggles, particularly in the paint. The Lakers have had a difficult time containing dominant interior players, and that spells trouble against Jokic, who thrives when attacking smaller frontlines. Denver has made a habit of exploiting teams down low, leading the NBA in points in the paint. Meanwhile, the Lakers rank near the bottom in that category, sitting 24th in paint defense and allowing opponents to score nearly 50 points per game in that area.
The issues do not stop there for Los Angeles, as their transition defense has also been a glaring weakness. Denver not only excels in the half-court but also leads the league in fastbreak points, making them an even tougher matchup for a Lakers team that ranks just 23rd in transition defense, surrendering an average of 16.4 points per game in fastbreak situations. With Denver’s ability to control the paint and push the tempo, Los Angeles will have a tough time slowing down this red-hot Nuggets squad. Take Denver ATS
