Key Factors

Favors Over

Jamal Murray has tallied 29.6 points per game over the last 5 games, 3.7 more than he's tallied in all games this year.
In terms of shooting, the Nuggets's impressive 121.7 points per game ranks highest in the league this year.
Over the last 5 games when they have the home court advantage, the other team's starting PGs have attempted 6.2 free throws per game (4th-highest in the NBA) vs. the Lakers, succeeding in their efforts to get to the foul line.

Favors Under

This year when they are on their home court, the opposing team's starting PGs have averaged 5.3 three attempts per game (5th-fewest in the league) against the Lakers, creating a tough matchup.
The Denver Nuggets have played at the 2nd-least up-tempo tempo in the NBA over the last 5 games.
The Los Angeles Lakers have played at the 7th-most lethargic pace-of-play in the NBA without the home court advantage this year, which ought to lead to decreased possessions for the Denver Nuggets.
The Denver Nuggets rank as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 25 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).
