This is a 10* TOTAL ASSASSIN on the UNDER Nuggets/Lakers.

We've seen this one before, where the Nuggets go down 3-1 and then come back and win the series in seven games.

But that might be easier said than done against the Lakers and in an attempt to do it for a third straight time.

These teams are pretty evenly matched. But while Game 4 did go OVER, I believe that Game 5 will definitely be a very defensive affair.

Both teams have had their most success in this series when they are able to establish their big men, and that's exactly what I expect to see a heavy does of this weekend.

LA was one of the best defensive clubs in the league in the regular season and I think it'll double down on that end tonight as it looks to end this series here and now.

Additionally note that LA has seen the total go UNDER the number in ten of its last 16 after scoring 114 points or more in a victory in its previous outing.

Expect this to be a war until the final moments and for this total to stay well UNDER once it's all said and done!

Good luck, NP
