The Denver Nuggets come into this game on a losing streak which has seen them fall out of the Western Conference playoff picture yet again.
In order to get back into the top eight, they must find a way to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers at home while hoping some of the other West teams lose as well.
Denver has to be wary of this Lakers game. While they are in a rebuild process as of right now, they have had a few surprising games this season where they have upset some of the top teams in the entire league.
