The Denver Nuggets look to start the season series off against the Los Angeles Lakers with a win. Both teams are without their secondary star but it will still be a great game. Since losing Anthony Davis to injury the Lakers are 5-8, in order to avoid the play-in game they need every win they can get. As do the Nuggets though, Denver is currently in 6th place in the Western Conference and the Lakers sit at 7th. A loss for Denver and a win for the Lakers would mean the Nuggets drop out of 6th place.
