Los Angeles Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets, 8:30PM ET

LEG 1: Nikola Jokic Over 10.5 Assists

With 132 points in Game 1, the Denver Nuggets were dominant on offense to open the series, and the Lakers were almost powerless to stop it. LA just couldn't make a defensive play for large parts of the game, and Nikola Jokic was at the forefront, leading Denver with 34-21-14. There's always a chance of a player who played a good game prior having a regression in the following game of a playoff series, but that's hard to picture with Jokic, especially as a facilitator where he just gets so much of the ball and distributes smartly to his teammates who are cutting or out on the perimeter. Our projections have Jokic down for 16 dimes.

LEG 2: LeBron James Over 6.5 Assists

Not to be outdone as a playmaker, LeBron was at his best in Game 1, even if the Lakers came up short, dishing off 9 assists with another 15 potential assists gone begging. It helps when Anthony Davis shows up, and another big game from AD, as well as guys like Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, and D'Angelo Russell, who was super quiet on Tuesday night, will help the King's cause for another big night on the assists with our data modelling projecting another 9.


LEG 3: Jamal Murray Over 25.5 Points

With Jokic in such fine form, Murray is a direct benefactor on offense. The point guard tallied 31 points on Wednesday, many of which coming from Jokic passes - but that's not to say that Murray can't create his own shots either. This game is set to be another high scoring affair and Murray is in prime position for huge share of shot attempts. We project 29 points
