The nightcap for Saturday, November 23rd features old nemeses the Denver Nuggets versus the LA Lakers.

LA holds the all-time record having won 113 of the 192 meetings between the clubs however the Nuggets have owned the Lakers in recent years sweeping them last season in their three-game regular season series.
*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, on Friday, November 22nd. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Saturday, November 23rd.
Denver Nuggets
Despite erasing a 24-point deficit the Nuggets couldn’t hang on to beat the Mavericks but gained some valuable insights. For example, Denver is missing their best defender (Aaron Gordon) which is giving youngster Peyton Watson more opportunity and he’s shining in those minutes.
Nikola Jokic returned after a three-game absence (Nuggets were 1-2 in those matches) to welcome his son into the world and promptly delivered a triple-double of 33 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists.
Nuggets Stats
Denver ranks 11th offensively (113.7) and 16th defensively (112.8) with a net differential of plus +09 which ranks tied for 13th overall.
Despite their overall placement, the Nuggets aren’t as solid against the spread with a 5-8-1 record through 14 contests.
Nuggets Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Vlatko Cancar, SF (OUT indefinitely— knee)
- Aaron Gordon, PF (OUT indefinitely— calf)
- DaRon Holmes II (OUT — unknown)
Los Angeles Lakers
No team has owned the Lakers quite like the Nuggets in recent seasons however a big part of that success was the impact Aaron Gordon has and he remains out for Denver.
LA’s six-game win streak came to an end against the Magic but it’s worth noting only one of those victories came versus a team above .500.
Lakers Stats
LA ranks fourth offensively (118.3), and 26th defensively (117.4), with a plus net differential of +0.9 ranking tied for 13th overall.
The Lakers perform below the middle ground against the spread with a 7-8 record through 15 matches.

- Christian Wood, PF (OUT indefinitely— knee)
- Quincy Olivari, G (OUT —ankle)

Free NBA Prediction:
It will be very interesting to see how the Nuggets perform once Gordon returns as both Watson and Christian Braun have showcased growth in his absence.
He isn’t available for this outing which begs the question of whether the Lakers’ rest advantage and Gordon’s absence makes LA the definitive favorite or if they’ve just been feasting on tanking teams.
