CBS “expert” picks. 7 out of 8 pick the Nuggets. Found this one interesting:
“Quinn's pick: Nuggets in 6. Denver has been by far the best team of the postseason. The Lakers have been rockier, hitting enormous highs and troubling lows that often boil down to their inconsistent 3-point shooting and how much energy LeBron James is capable of expending at any given time. They are incredibly vulnerable to foul trouble in this matchup. As well as Anthony Davis played the last time the Lakers and Nuggets met in the playoffs, Dwight Howard spent major chunks of that series guarding Nikola Jokic. The Lakers have no such secondary option. If Davis ever has to sit, Jokic gets to destroy Wenyen Gabriel. It's been a remarkable effort for the Lakers, but the Nuggets have been the class of the West all season, and they should enter this series as the favorite.”

Another one:
“Reiter's pick: Nuggets in 5. There's no time like the present to go all-in correcting a mistake. And the Nuggets have showcased to me and those around the NBA just how great they are. Nikola Jokic, of course, is an all-world talent, but this is a complete basketball team that compliments Joker's immense talents. They made easy work of the Phoenix Suns, and there's no reason to think they can't do the same against the Lakers. LA's run has been remarkable, of course — but LeBron's age and minutes, AD's fragility and unreliability and the reliance on so many overachieving role players catches up to them against a legit No. 1 seed.“
