NBA Nuggets vs Lakers Best Bets for Monday, May 22 from Pickswise expert handicapper Mark Zinno

It’s another big night in the NBA playoffs as the Denver Nuggets are looking to sweep the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals at 8:30 pm ET on ESPN. I went 3-0 with my picks for the Heat vs Celtics game on Friday, so let’s try to find some more winners. I have picked out 2 plays I like for Game 4 of the Nuggets vs Lakers series, so let’s get into the reasoning behind those picks.

Nuggets +3.5 (-115, BetMGM)

It’s Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals as the Denver Nuggets go for the sweep over the Los Angeles Lakers. The Nuggets have been the better team through the first three games of this series. They are shooting better than 49% from the field and 41% from beyond the arc as the Lakers defense had fallen apart. Coming into this series, LA was allowing opponents to shoot just 42% from the field and 33% from 3-point range. And stats don’t even tell the whole story for the Lakers, who are getting statistical contributions from LeBron James and Anthony Davis, but they just aren’t impactful. When Davis scored 40 in Game 1 and the Lakers still lost, if felt like the best chance for Los Angeles to set the tone for the series was gone.

There is a narrative that the Lakers won’t get swept and won’t lost Game 4 at home. I understand it, but the Games so far have told a different story. The Nuggets are a win away from their first ever trip to the NBA Finals and I don’t expect them to let up or take it easy in this one. I’m getting the better team, in a clinching scenario, catching points and I will take them. Nuggets +3.5.

Over 224 points (-110)

Two of the games in this series have gone over the total, with Game 2 being the only one that stayed under. The hot shooting of the Nuggets would need to cool off for this to stay under. In Game 2, Denver shot only 43% from the field and 36% from three, keeping the total under. The Lakers have not had an answer for the Nuggets’ role players or Jamal Murray to this point.
If Denver isn’t making shots, this game should be going under. Also if the Lakers hope to extend the series, they will have to shoot better than they have in the first two games. If that happens, obviously the scoring will go up. These playoffs have been tougher to figure out as we’ve gone deeper into them, but the Lakers winning an under game doesn’t seem likely unless the Nuggets are just fla-out awful and it’s a blowout.  I like the over.

Recording Of a Jailed Alien Being Inside a Secret Base in Brazil

Image
The next movie will reveal a top-secret location that includes several rooms that belonged to the Brazilian army. Many sources claim that extraterrestrials are kept alive. The video, despite being unknown by the source, appears authentic and unaltered. If the film is true, it will be a clear demonstration of extraterrestrial life in the cosmos and even on our planet. This suggests that alien beings are continually visiting Earth. Brazilian forces keep alien spaceships near the north poles. These, in turn, lead into a hidden realm on Earth. One thing is certain, we are not the only ones in the cosmos and on our planet. Check out the video below for additional information, and don’t forget to let us know what you think.

Jurgen Klopp warns Liverpool's defence of 'real problems' as pre-season struggles continue

Jurgen Klopp has lamented the Liverpool defence 's lack of 'awareness' during their 4-3 defeat to Bayern Munich on Wednesday. The Reds have shipped a worrying number of goals during pre-season thus far, with the four shipped against Bayern taking the tally to 12 in their last four friendlies. Defensive concerns were common last season for Liverpool, who conceded 47 goals in 38 league Game s, and Klopp warned his team that they cannot afford to allow that trend to continue . Before the Bayern friendly, Klopp admitted: "I’ve tried to make really clear our defending has to be at a completely different level to last season. We had better do that or we will have real problems." That level was not on show during the latest Game against the Bundesliga champions, who profited from a number of sloppy decisions from Liverpool's defence to become the second side to score four against them this summer.
