*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Tuesday, March 18th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Wednesday, March 19th.
Denver Nuggets
If we can read anything into trends this game would be marked for a loss. That’s because the Nuggets have ridden the middle ground (7-6) since their nine-game winning streak.
Ironically, Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Christian Brown were all sat dealing with injuries against the Warriors but Denver found a way to win.

Despite their overall placement, the Nuggets aren’t as solid against the spread with a 33-35-1 record through 69 contests.
Nuggets Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Julian Strawther, SF (OUT — knee sprain)
- DaRon Holmes II, C (OUT — Achilles)
- Vlatko Cancar, SF (OUT indefinitely— knee)
Los Angeles Lakers
After four losses the Lakers got back on track with victories versus the Suns and Spurs. No doubt, the Lakers are thrilled this contest is on their home floor as they’ve struggled mightily (15-18) away from LA.
Not having LeBron James isn’t ideal either, but Austin Reeves has stepped up in his absence to help Luka Doncic run the scoring.

Free NBA Prediction:
In the grand scheme of things this match matters. The Nuggets sit third, just one game up on the Lakers (and Grizzlies) while LA is dealing with life without LeBron James in the interim.
Denver has owned the Lakers but they sometimes struggle against the better teams so this match could go either way. Much will depend on how well the Nuggets can slow Jokic assuming he plays.

NBA Tweet Of The Day
Norris Cole: “When LeBron runs you can hear it. He like, ‘Huuh. Huuh.’ I was about to take a dribble and lay it up but I heard ‘Huuh. Huuh” and I was like I don’t even got to see him…it was going to be a freight train.”
