Andy Bailey: “Apologies for joining what I’m sure will be a parade of overreactions to one national TV game, but JJ Redick and Luka Dončić change the Lakers-Nuggets matchup enough to justify thinking LA could win a series between these two.”

Mike Trudell: “The first of many 30-point games for Luka Doncic in the Purple and Gold comes here in Denver, making it 117-97 with 4 minutes to play, with the Nuggets emptying the bench.
Lakers will look to win here for the first time since the season finale in 2022.”
