Business is about to pick up for the Denver Nuggets.
And not just for the franchise, but potentially for fans of Mile High Basketball as well.
The Nuggets are more than halfway through their eight seeding games, with LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers on the docket. This is after an incredible 134-132 double overtime win over the rival Utah Jazz on Saturday.
As it stands now, Denver is in the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference, and only one game behind the Los Angeles Clippers for the No. 2 seed. So a move up isn’t out of the question, but the Nuggets have no room for error in their three remaining games.
What does that have to do with Colorado online betting and Denver fans?
Multiple CO online sports betting apps will run Nuggets-specific promotions over the next few days and for the month of August.
Any time James is involved, you know it’s about to get serious.

The Nuggets and Lakers have a storied history going back to the 1980s.
Any time Denver has been on the cusp of NBA greatness, the Lakers are there to bring the Mile High dreams back to sea level.
The 2020 season is no different.
For the Nuggets to finally clear the Western Conference hurdle, they’ll have to get past James and the Lakers. Monday’s game is the first test since the NBA returned to play, gathered in the Orlando bubble.
If you play it right, you could win, too.
