The 6.5-point favored Lakers will be trying to get back to the NBA Finals for the second straight year, while the Nuggets will be trying to get there for the first time.

The Nuggets have been chilling since Wednesday night, when they eliminated the Dallas Mavericks and advanced to the conference finals for the first time since 1985.

Denver backers just hope the rest doesn't lead to rust. The Nuggets have gone 1-10 against L.A. the last two seasons, including a four-game sweep in the first round of last year's playoffs. Los Angeles won the season series 3-1 this year.

The home team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings.

Watch the totals in this series. The big men on both sides like to run and score on the break.
