The Denver Nuggets have been quite aggressive recently, but a sixth-place finish puts pressure on the players. The Nuggets are well aware of their opponent’s problems and will try to take advantage of them.
The Lakers are at a point in their season where they need to forget about losing unless LeBron James and his teammates want to salvage the championship. You can imagine the motivation of the Lakers.

The Lakers have put themselves in a very difficult situation. The team has given up a lot and continues to lose points. Frank Vogel’s side has just five games to regain their place in the top ten of the West.
Recall that the Lakers can’t win in five games. We’ve seen such upsets often during the season, but it’s important to pull together now. In their last meeting, the Los Angeles Lakers lost to New Orleans Pelicans (111-114).
In the game against the Pelicans, LeBron James scored 38 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Nuggets have not yet qualified for the playoffs, which means the battle continues. They are in sixth place in the West and could very well drop into the play-ins, so they are motivated.
The Denver Nuggets lost their last game, although the game against Minnesota was played in the home walls (130-136). As always, Nikola Jokic was at his best, but his double-double did not win the game. Now Michael Melone’s men will have to travel to Los Angeles, where they’ll have a tough encounter.
In the game against the Timberwolves, Nikola Jokic scored 38 points, 19 rebounds and 8 assists.
