ANALYSIS

Our projected 103.5 pace is supported by Denver’s league-leading 121.6 offensive rating and a 21st-ranked defense (117.2) currently missing key wing defenders Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson. The scoring ceiling is elevated by Luka Doncic’s league-best 32.4 PPG and Jamal Murray’s recent 45-point explosion, making the >1.18 PPP altitude baseline highly attainable in a critical fight for 5th seed positioning.
Key Data
Lakers allow 118.5 PPG; Denver ORtg 121.2 at home; projected total 242.8 vs line 237.5.

OUTCOME

Los Angeles Lakers 113 - Denver Nuggets 120
