The Nuggets (42-24) are gearing up for a Friday showdown against the Lakers (40-23), with momentum fully on their side.
Fresh off a disappointing 115-95 loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the defending champs will be looking to get back on track. After lighting up Oklahoma City for 140 points on 60.5% shooting in Monday’s victory, the Denver Nuggets struggled to find their rhythm against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Nikola Jokić led the way with 34 points and eight rebounds, but his efforts weren’t enough. With 5:05 left on the clock and Minnesota holding a commanding 109-84 lead, Denver’s starters were pulled from the game.
Meanwhile, the Lakers are limping into this matchup with their confidence shaken. Back-to-back losses to the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets have left them searching for answers ahead of their matchup with the Bucks on Thursday night. With their recent struggles, they’ll need to shake off the rust quickly if they hope to keep up with the red-hot Nuggets.
