Lakers vs Nuggets preview – Game 1
The Lakers will lean into history and the Nuggets will have to battle to overcome it in a Western Conference Finals series that pits the NBA's joint most-successful franchise against one that has never managed to reach the NBA Finals in over 40 years of trying.
Despite being the top seed in the Western Conference, boasting arguably the best basketball player in the world in Nikola Jokic, and possessing the league's highest homecourt winning percentage, the Nuggets enter this series as the least-favored favorites this fixture is ever likely to see.
The Lakers were a walking punchline for most of the season and only qualified for the playoffs by the skin of their teeth, but this is their stage. The turnaround has been unlike anything this league has seen in modern times, and at the grand old age of 38, LeBron James looks every bit as sharp and motivated as ever.
In Anthony Davis, the Lakers also have the only man who looks up to the task of getting to grips with Jokic. The big Serb will need some assistance if the Nuggets are to progress, and Jamal Murray and former Laker Kentavious Caldwell-Pope could have huge roles to play.
Denver has been the most efficient offensive team and Los Angeles has been the No.1 defensive team through the playoffs so far, and here's how to watch a Lakers vs Nuggets live stream no matter where you are. Tip-off for Game 1 is at 8.30pm ET / 4.30pm PT on Tuesday.
