The Lakers are trying their best to rectify the situation. Sooner or later, the Los Angeles team will break through. Perhaps this time, LeBron James and company will put up a good fight.
In their recent meeting, the teams scored 209 points. It’s very likely that nothing will change significantly this time around. The Lakers have a big problem with their offensive play. In recent games, Ham’s men haven’t scored more than 104 points.
The Lakers have not scored more than 108 points in four of their last five games.
The Lakers continue to fail. The day before, Darvin Ham’s team lost on the road to the Minnesota Timberwolves. LeBron James tried to pull his team together again, but his effort wasn’t enough to win the game. Russell Westbrook and his teammates didn’t back him up. As a result, the Los Angeles team lost with a score of 102-111.
Thus, the Lakers lost their fifth game in a row. In 4 of the 5 games, the Lakes failed to put up a fight against their opponents. The only exception was against the Portland Trail Blazers, where the Lakers lost by a two-point margin.
The Lakers are averaging 9.8 steals per game.
The Denver Nuggets have already picked up four wins in the new season. The most successful games for Nikola Jokic and his team were the recent encounters against the Lakers (110-99) and Jazz (117-101).
The Denver Nuggets don’t have any notable losses. Mike Malone’s team can expect another success, as they’ll be playing with their strongest lineup yet.
The Nuggets are averaging 7.2 steals and 45.3 rebounds per game this season.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Los Angeles Lakers: Patrick Beverley – Lonnie Walker – LeBron James – Anthony Davis – Damian Jones.
Denver Nuggets: Jamal Murray – Christian Braun – Aaron Gordon – Michael Porter Jr. – Nikola Jokic.
