The Los Angeles Lakers are set to face the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals.
They are just one step closer to reaching the NBA finals.
First, however, they’ll have to go through the No. 1 seed Denver Nuggets in a very tough duel.
The inspired Lakers are ready to make another statement, and Draymond Green believes they’ll win this series the same way they won against the Warriors.

Expectations are really high for the Lakers right now, as they turned this season around and now are eight wins away from another NBA title.
LeBron James and Anthony Davis are playing at a high level and Darvin Ham has proven to be a terrific coach.
However, Denver Nuggets are not a team that should be taken lightly.
They first beat the Minnesota Timberwolves in five games and then beat a very good Suns team.
Just like the Lakers, the Nuggets will face their toughest opponent in the playoffs so far.
This will be a rematch of the 2020 and 2009 West Finals, which the Lakers both won.
Coincidentally, they won the championship the last two times they clashed with the Nuggets in this round.
It remains to be seen if they can beat Nikola Jokic and co., but these Lakers look very dangerous right now.
