The Los Angeles Lakers desperately need a win tonight.
Multiple teams have been able to come back from a 0-2 deficit in the playoffs, and they’ll now be home for the next two games of the series.
However, their chances of coming back from a 0-3 situation are quite slim, especially against the reigning NBA champions.
That’s why former NBA star Tim Hardaway Sr. expects the Lakers to take care of business at home tonight.
Talking on “The Carton Show,” Hardaway predicted a big game from Anthony Davis, stating that that’s the way the Lakers can get the win.

Davis has put up big numbers in the two losses.
Then again, context also matters, and he disappeared in the fourth quarter of Game 2, taking just one shot (and missing it) and grabbing one rebound.
He also allowed Jamal Murray to get a shot off over him to seal the comeback win.
The Lakers don’t seem mentally strong enough to get past the Nuggets right now.
Those ten consecutive losses to them keep circling around their heads, and you can tell they’re just not confident enough to finish the job against the reigning NBA champions.
Still, we should never count out a team that has LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
