Will the Denver Nuggets Continue Their Winning Ways Against the Lakers?

The Nuggets have been on a winning streak, showcasing a strong performance in their past games. In Game 1 against the Lakers, they dominated with a 114-103 victory, led by an efficient offense that shot 46 percent from the field and an impressive 36 percent from beyond the arc. Their defensive efforts were equally notable, holding their opponents to just over one point per possession.
