How Lakers can beat Nikola Jokic, Nuggets in NBA playoffs, per Magic Johnson

The Los Angeles Lakers are facing a tough test in the NBA Playoffs as they battle the Denver Nuggets in the first round. After all, Nikola Jokic and Co. swept them in last year's West Finals meeting. Of course it won't be an easy battle for the Lakers, and even if they play perfectly, there's no guarantee that they will be able to take down the Nuggets. The five-time Lakers champion explained that in order for Darvin Ham's men to beat Denver, D'Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves, Gabe Vincent and Spencer Dinwiddie will have to outplay Jamal Murray, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Christian Braun.
