The Denver Nuggets are coming off back-to-back wins over the Phoenix Suns after they beat them 123-112 in their last outing, while the Los Angeles Lakers weren’t able earn a “W” as they came away on the losing end of a tough loss to the Utah Jazz (final score 96-88.)
Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets made it back-to-back wins over the Phoenix Suns after they swept the seasons series 4-0 with their final victory over them. Despite not having star centre Nikola Jokic, the Denver Nuggets were still able to compete at a high level.
And it also helped some that other players stepped up.

Danilo Gallinari and Kenneth Faried led the Nuggets with 32 points for Gallo and 21 points for Faried. The play of those two really helped bring a spark to the Nuggets offense, especially at a time when the team needed it most.
Without Jokic Denver needed other players to fill in for his role and they did just that. But if they hope to make it three wins in a row they’re going to need to do it again against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Despite their record the Lakers are actually a better team they given credit for.
So that means Denver can’t come out taking them lightly or else they will let this game slip away from them.
That means they’ve got to come out focused and ready to compete, because any effort less than that will allow Los Angeles to come away out on top.
L.A. Lakers
The Lakers continue to be plagued by inconsistencies within the team.
[dfads params=’groups=226&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
Whether it’s their defensive effort, or scoring issues, the team just seems to look different on a game-to-game basis.
And that’s not a good look for a team that’s hoping to grow as the season progresses, yet that’s were they’re at in this point.
And it ultimately starts with their best players. D’Angelo Russell, Julius Randle, Jordan Clarkson, Lou Williams and Nick Young are all way to streaky, and that’s really stunted the teams’ development.
They all seem to play well one game, and then suddenly disappear the next.
That’s just not a good look for the leaders of that team because you’re best players are supposed to set the tone for the team, and right now that tone seems to be full with inconsistencies.
However, the good thing is that they still have half the season in order to change that narrative. Now they’ve just got to do something about it in order to change it, and that all starts on the defensive end of the floor.

If the Los Angeles Lakers hope to turn this season around the teams going to need to make a commitment on that end of the court.
So that means shutting down the opposition should be first and foremost if they’re to come away victors in their next outing.

Free Denver Nuggets vs. L.A. Lakers NBA Prediction:
Although the Nuggets are dealing with injuries, I’d still take them to win this matchup. They just seem to be the better team on both ends of the floor, so because of that look for them to come away with the “W.”
