WCF Nuggets v Lakers | Game 4 Preview

Nuggets @ Lakers | Crypto.com Arena | Los Angeles, CA | DEN leads series 3-0

Going to make this short and simple for Denver, just play your game and win. Don't give any life to LeBron and the Lakers. Like Nikola Jokic said in his post-game presser, "...I'm worried because they have LeBron on the other side, and he's capable of doing anything." Jokic got into foul trouble and didn't come back until part way through the 4th. The Nuggets were able to weather the storm in the "non Jokic minutes" We've been saying this is a series of role players. KCP and MPJ plus some Bruce Brown Jr. stepped up with umbrellas.

For the Lakers, assuming they haven't already booked their plane tickets to various and luxurious locations on the globe, need to start with DLo on the bench. He's averaging 7 measly points in this series and his shooting % is not even worth the research. Expect LeBron to not go down easy, but it is an even number game in the playoffs, and AD has been minuscule by his postseason trend. LeBron is going to need a lot of help, also assuming if he just wants to be off his feet. Reaves and Rui are playing for offseason bags, so expect them to come out firing.
