- The Nuggets went 6-2 against the Lakers last season, and should beat them again on a special night for their franchise.
- The Lakers lost in this spot on opening night last year against the defending champion Warriors, and will do the same this time around.
In the first game of the NBA season, look for the defending champions to come out on top. The Denver Nuggets should win and cover the spread in the Lakers vs Nuggets matchup on Tuesday night, as the Nuggets have had a huge advantage over Los Angeles. Denver swept the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals last season, going 6-2 against the Lakers combined across the regular season and playoffs. While the Lakers will have a strong season this year themselves, ring night will be the Nuggets’ night in the Mile High City.
