The Lakers will be looking to slow down the reigning NBA Champion Denver Nuggets, evening up the series to one a piece before heading to Los Angeles.

Game one of the Western Conference Finals rematch did not disappoint, where we saw big games from both stars LeBron James and Nikola Jokic.

With each road team looking to tie their series up at one a piece, here are some player prop bets to consider heading into tonight's game.

NBA Playoffs Player Prop Bets: Lakers LeBron James Over 25.5 Points at -111

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James started game 1 against the Denver Nuggets hot, scoring 19 points in the first half, showcasing his NBA postseason scoring prowess.

Despite the stellar first half, James took his foot off the gas during the second half, only scoring six points.

The Lakers won't win a game in this series if LeBron James doesn't assert his dominance. Expect a better scoring outing from James in game two with a chance to tie things up.

NBA Playoffs Player Prop Bets: Nuggets Nikola Jokic Over 8.5 Assists at -128

Nikola Jokic was sensational in game 1 vs. the Lakers, scoring 32 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists to give his Denver Nuggets the win.

Jokic's passing has been a staple of his game throughout his career, easily finding the open man in setting up his teammates.

With a chance to even up the series, the Los Angeles Lakers may do everything in their power to stop Nikola Jokic from scoring, which may result in a big passing night from the Joker.
