The Los Angeles Lakers will face a significant challenge tonight when they travel to play the Denver Nuggets, who have a record of 37-19 and are currently on a nine-game winning streak. The Lakers, with a record of 33-21, aim to regain the momentum they had been developing before the All-Star break and advance in the Western Conference rankings.
During its winning streak, Denver has been averaging 128.2 points per game, and for the season, it leads in points in the paint per game, assists per game, fast-break points per game, and field-goal percentage. Nikola Jokić is posting a triple-double average, while guard Jamal Murray has been performing exceptionally well on the court recently.
The Lakers have dropped 13 out of their last 14 matchups against Denver, and they were ousted by Jokic’s team in each of the last two playoffs. They just secured a tough 110-102 victory against the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday, where LeBron James achieved 40 points for the second time as a 40-year-old.
