think id pick lakers in 6-7. lakers having dwight /AD to guard jokic then still having a rim protector is a big help over what they had. Also looking at even the 23 series, i dont like playing too much variance but g1 jokic shoots 3/3 from 3 on not exactly easy looks. jokic is great but hes a career 34% 3pt shooter the warriors were leaving open just a year ago his shot is defintly prone to variance, i dont expect him to shoot as well as he did that series from 3. lebron also shot poorly from outside that playoffs, 0/10 first 2 games swung things. i think the 23 nuggets if i was gonna run a simulation id expect the moist common outcome to be nuggets in 7 vs 23 lakers, and while 20 lakers will miss reaves the better overall defensive personel helps. plus lakers would have HCA which is a big swing, tho maybe not counting that but id say 20 lakers in 7
