After a couple of days off, the Denver Nuggets (26-13) are back in action tonight with the Los Angeles Lakers (19-21) coming to town for the fourth and final matchup between these two teams in the regular season. Despite the Lakers’ struggles over the last couple of seasons, they’ve had the Nuggets’ number for the most part, as they’re 2-1 in three games this year and 5-4 over the last three seasons since their win in the bubble.
The Nuggets are tied for the lead at the top of the Western Conference, and they are one of the hottest teams in the NBA with an 8-2 record over their last 10 games.
