The LA Lakers are on the brink of getting swept by the Denver Nuggets for the second straight postseason. The Lakers are down 3-0 heading into Game 4 against the seemingly unbeatable Nuggets team. Let's look at the best player props for tonight's game.
For the third straight game, the Lakers were up double digits on the Nuggets in the first half. And for the third consecutive time, the defending champions came back and beat the Lakers to earn a 3-0 series advantage.
Nikola Jokic remains the constant for the Nuggets while players like Aaron Gordon, Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. have their moments. Meanwhile, LeBron James and Anthony Davis are the only bright spots for the Lakers in this series.
Top 10 player props for Game 4 of Denver Nuggets vs LA Lakers
#10 - Rui Hachimura, Points - Over 9.5 (-112)
Rui Hachimura has been atrocious for both ends of the floor for the LA Lakers in the first three games of the series. Hachimura is due for a double-digit scoring game, so there's a reason that he's favored to score more than 9.5 points.
#9 - Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Steals - Under 1.5 (-130)
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has been relatively quiet on offense for the Denver Nuggets in this series. But his bread and butter have always been his defense, which is really good. He's averaging 1.7 steals in three games so far.
#8 - D'Angelo Russell, 3-Pointers Made - Over 2.5 (-128)
LA Lakers fans are unhappy with D'Angelo Russell for going scoreless in Game 3, but he have that amazing shooting display in Game 2. Russell is favored to hit more than 2.5 shots from beyond the arc.
#7 - Aaron Gordon, Points - Under 15.5 (-120)
Aaron Gordon is not known for his scoring, but he did drop 29 points in Game 3 against the LA Lakers.
Gordon is capable of scoring, especially if Nikola Jokic keeps finding him cutting to the basket. It's a closeout game so anything is possible.
#6 - Austin Reaves, Points - Over 14.5 (-113)
The LA Lakers will need a big game from Austin Reaves if they want to survive for another game. Reaves had his first scoring outburst in Game 3, so there's a chance that he could carry over tonight.
#5 - Michael Porter Jr., 3-Pointers Made - Over 2.5 (-143)
There's no such thing as a bad look for Michael Porter Jr., who is one of the best snipers in the league this season. MPJ has been on fire for the Denver Nuggets, hitting three, six and two 3-point shots in this series.
#4 - Jamal Murray, Points - Over 23.5 (-115)
Jamal Murray has not shot the ball well for the Denver Nuggets in this series, but they are still up 3-0. Murray is due for a big scoring game, and there's no better time to do it in a closeout game.
#3 - LeBron James, Pts+Reb+Ast - Under 43.5 (-120)
The LA Lakers will need LeBron James to go off if they want to avoid the sweep.
James has been fantastic for the Lakers in this series despite their current predicament. He won't go down without a fight, so a triple-double is not out of the question.
#2 - Anthony Davis, Pts+Reb - Under 39.5 (-118)
Anthony Davis is averaging a double-double in this series, so he can easily go over 39.5 points.
However, there's a potential for the LA Lakers to be mentally checked out of the series and could get blown out. Davis also can focus on defense and let the role players have their first good game of the series.
#1 - Nikola Jokic, Pts+Reb+Ast - Under 49.5 (-112)
Nikola Jokic is one of the few players in the league capable of dropping a triple-double every game.
Jokic already produced a 27-20-10 game in this series, so it wouldn't be surprising if he drops another historic stat line in a closeout game.
