Anthony Davis managed to post 40 points for the Lakers, despite being led by 18 at the half.

Even though Anthony Davis managed to post 40 points for the Lakers, the Nuggets were led by 18 at the half. However, with the constant domination of the glass, it was dunks and rebounds that made Jokic need backboards in his life.

Los Angeles found some life by placing Rui Yamura on defense against Jokic. However, the Lakers held the lead all night only for the first 2-0 when LeBron James drove to the deuce. Los Angeles kept it close late in the game, but a James turnover and a clutch free throw shot by Jokic sealed the deal.

At the time of publication, DraftKings has the odds spread with the Nuggets (-215) as favorites and the Lakers (+185) as underdogs. In other words, a $215 bet on the Nuggets to win would win you $100, while a $100 bet on the Lakers to win would win you $185.

Here's everything you need to know to watch the Lakers vs. Nuggets live stream online (and get ready for the Heat vs. Celtics live stream in Game 2):

Have trouble actually getting ESPN. Even if you can't watch the Lakers vs. Nuggets live stream on cable, you're not out of luck. With a virtual private network (VPN), you can pretend you're surfing the web from your hometown (or anywhere else where power outages don't occur) and access the same streaming services you're already paying for.

Not sure which VPN is right for you? After testing a variety of services, the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. It offers great speed and excellent customer service. However, there are other VPN options out there. Here are our top picks.

Game 2 Lakers vs. Nuggets live stream will air on ESPN on Thursday (May 18) at 8:30 PM ET/5:30 PM ET. The series will air on ESPN and ABC/ESPN3.

If you have already cut the cord and don't have a cable package. The best alternative to cable TV will allow you to watch every game of the NBA playoffs. But as much as we like FuboTV, it doesn't have TNT, which has the entire Celtics-Heat series from the Eastern Conference Finals.

Instead, consider Sling TV, one of the best streaming services with TNT. For the upcoming NBA playoff live stream, ABC games will be simulcast on ESPN3 available on Sling Orange; ABC is also available on Sling Blue in select markets. These markets are Chicago (WLS), Fresno (KFSN), Houston (KTRK), Los Angeles (KABC), New York (WABC), Philadelphia (WPVI), Raleigh-Durham (WTVD) and San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose (KGO). Except for Fresno, Houston, and Raleigh, an additional $5 per month is charged to watch ABC on Sling Blue or Sling Orange & Blue.

Sling is 50% off the first month, which is great for watching all the NBA playoffs; Sling Orange also offers ESPN, and the Sports Extra pack includes NBA TV.

Of course, you can also watch the games on more expensive services such as YouTube TV ($73/month), Hulu + Live TV ($70/month), and DirecTV Stream ($75/month).

ABC can pull down on one of the best TV antennas.
