The Los Angeles Lakers are favored to defeat the Denver Nuggets in six games in the Western Conference semifinals, according to oddsmakers. This despite the Nuggets winning the series opener on Saturday. Denver is a -375 favorite to win the series, while the Lakers are +120 underdogs.
The Lakers have a strong track record in the playoffs, having won 17 championships. They also have a number of key players, including LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook.
