Denver becomes the first team to overcome a 3-1 deficit in 2 consecutive playoff series. One again Utah Jazz in the first round and second against the mighty Clippers. 


Now Denver Nuggets will face another heavy favorite team in the finals, Los Angeles Lakers. This series will be a series of bigs- Anthony Davis and Nikola Jokic. It will be a great match up one who is lazy but have the ability to make great plays that can turn a game(Joker) and one who is one of the best shot blockers and best talent with every ability what basketball player seeks(Davis).


Denver Nuggets Strength


Denver's Duo, Jamal Murray, and Nikola Jokic


Jamal Murray was superb in a series against Utah Jass as he helped his team to make it into the next round with big scoring games.  Jamal Murray averaged 31.6 PPG with 5.6 rebounds and 6.3 assists in that series meanwhile Nikola Jokic averaged 26.3 PPG with 8.1 rebounds, 5.4 assists in a series against Utah Jazz.


When Nikola Jokic and Murray played at a high level than their team's chances to win a game. It's hard to predict Nikola's play and Jamal Murray is doing a great thing in a shadow of it. He takes away the game with his shot-making abilities. He doesn't shoot many last moment shots but he shoots important shots at the right time. 


Nikola Jokic has the ability to read a game and it's hard to guard him. He has one of the best abilities like LeBron James to assist a ball at right time at the right moment. Jokic is the best big in a game with great passing ability. 


Michael Porter Jr and Gary Harris are the keys in every series of the postseason if they will be good at decisive plays than it will be tough for the Opposition Team to handle Denver Nuggets. 


Denver Nuggets Bench:


Denver Nuggets have a very good bench, not the best but good. They can turn around any game on that day. 


Denver's Weakness 


If one of the Denver's Duo will fail to make a big score in a game than they have very little chance to win a game. Denver Nuggets is a young team and they don't have any experience to play in any finals.


Los Angeles Lakers Strength 


The duo of Anthony Davis and experience to play in the Finals


Anthony Davis and LeBron James are the biggest factors in the Lakers' success. But they have other players like Danny Green, Rajon Rondo, McGee, and Dwight Howard who already faced this kind of situation. LeBron James, Danny Green, Rajon Rondo, and McGee already won an NBA title in their career. 


Lakers Length, Bench, and Mind


Lakers have big players like Anthony Davis, Javal MaCgee, Dwight Howard, and LeBron James who can protect a rim very well. Lakers are one of the best shot-blocking teams in the NBA and defensive team. 


Lakers bench players are very good, They are playing every game with high intensity as they never want to lose a game. Alex Caruso, Rajon Rondo, and Kyle Kuzma will be a key against Denver Nuggets.


Lakers have 2 players who have one of the best IQ in the NBA- LeBron James and Rajon Rondo and both are playing as the facilitator of the ball. So Lakers' offense will run very well. Both have experience playing on a big stage. 


Lakers Weakness


Lakers have a very good team with players who complement each other very well and fill each other's weaknesses but the issue is that they are going cool sometimes and chocked when needed a  most in a game to make big plays. They have always faced a problem against a with high accuracy. 


Which team has a better chance?


Los Angeles Lakers have a better chance to make into the NBA finals. Denver Nuggets have a 35% chance to make it into the finals with the Confidence they have and if they played every game at a high level.
