Los Angeles Lakers - Denver Nuggets: betting tip and bets for the NBA match

Current form

The Summer League is a time of ambition, a chance for young people to prove themselves. So on July 18, the Lakers took to the floor against their main rival, Boston. The result is 78:87. Failure? Yes. But there are no flashes. Bronnie James shone in this match: 18 points, confidence, bravery, playing at both ends of the court. The guy has a backbone. However, basketball is a team game, and one bright spot is not enough. The second half of the match turned out to be difficult for the Lakers — blunders, losses, and erratic actions. The Celtics took advantage of it as they should: they put the squeeze on it, ran away, and broke away. And the Californians were left without a victory again. This is the third defeat in the tournament, and questions about the defense, alas, are only growing.

But things have gone up in Denver. On the same day, July 18, they finally caught their game and beat the Clippers 81-76. And here it is impossible not to single out one guy — Daron Holmes II. A double-double? Not just a double-double, but 19 points, 17 rebounds, and assists with steals to boot. He played like an adult. The Nuggets set the pace in the third quarter, where Holmes dominated the ring as if it were his personal territory. The Clippers tried to come back, but they didn't have the strength or the accuracy. Denver resisted. The victory is the first, but a sure one. And most importantly, the team showed character. And this is important.
