Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:46:50 GMT

As the Denver Nuggets enter the Western Conference Finals for the second time in four seasons, a breakdown of their matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers:Who has the edge?Guards: For the Nuggets to advance, Jamal Murray needs to find seams within the Lakers’ tight defense and win his matchup.

They know their weaknesses. Edge: NuggetsWings: The Nuggets could have a...
