The set-up: I won with Denver last time out and I think it'll find a way to deliver in Game 5 as well. The Lakers are now 3-1 in this series, but I expect they'll have their hands full with this Nuggets team that simply doesn't quit. Denver has already come back from two 3-1 series deficits to advance to this point.

The pick: Note as well that the Lakers are just 2-6-1 in their last nine as a favorite vs. the Nuggets, while Denver is 8-1-1 in the playoffs when trailing in a series.
