D’Angelo Russell UNDER 17 Points

NBA Pick #1 will be one that goes against D’Angelo Russell. This is a tough matchup for the point guard. He was only able to manage 8 points in game one and 10 points in game 2. Although the series is returning to LA, 17 points is way to much. 

The Los Angeles Lakers Will WIN By OVER 5.5 Points 

I am looking at it from this perspective. The Lakers have shown a ton of gusto in the 2023 playoffs. The team is 7-0 at home and with the LA crowd at their backs tonight you can expect a big push. Denver is great but are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 Conference Finals games. When playing in LA they are only 1-5 against the spread in their past 6 games. Also factoring in how the #1 seed is only 2-3 on the road. For these reason my #2 NBA pick is the Lakers -5.5.
