The Los Angeles Lakers will host the Denver Nuggets tonight in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals in the NBA Playoffs. The game is scheduled for an 8:30 p.m. start time and it will be televised nationally on ESPN. The NBA Playoff Odds for the contest have the Lakers favored by a slim margin to pick up the win in this one.
NBA Playoff Odds
Los Angeles -3
Total: 224 points
The Lakers are on the verge of being swept here in the Western Conference Finals. Denver has clearly been the best team this series and tonight they can find a way to close it out on the road.
While there might not be any sound betting analysis behind it, this has to be the game the Lakers win, doesn't it? They're facing elimination at home and probably have to come out and play this game to fulfill all the cliches in sports. Back to sound reasoning, Denver will want to put an end to this series as quickly as possible because expected Finals opponent Miami is also on the verge of sweeping Boston in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Jamal Murray has been a problem for the Lakers so far this series. He's scored better than 30 points in all three games (31, 37, 37) while shooting better than 50 percent from the floor as well. He's the perfect compliment to Nikola Jokic in this matchup and the duo will be looking for the knockout blow tonight.
