Betting on the Denver Nuggets to beat the Los Angeles Lakers is tired. The real move is betting on the Nuggets to beat Los Angeles while they’re trailing by double-digit points.
After erasing a 20-point deficit Monday to win Game 2 of their first-round series against LA on an incredible buzzer-beater, the Nuggets have now overcome deficits of at least 12 points in consecutive games to take a 2-0 series lead. Going back to last postseason, the Nuggets have beaten the Lakers in six straight playoff games, overcoming double-digit leads in four of them.
The defending champs are proving no lead is safe against them.
Bettors were prepared Monday, live betting on Denver to win at odds as long as +1400 at BetRivers, which obviously made for a sweeter pay day than moneyline odds around -290 at tip.

That feeling you get when you wake up in the morning and see your balance after putting a c-note live bet on the Nuggets when they were down by 20 because you knew eventually the Lakers would come apart like a $50 suit. pic.twitter.com/N7SgVTjYa8
