After a convincing loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Monday night, the Los Angeles Lakers are looking to bounce back and take care of business against the Denver Nuggets Tuesday night. In what should be an exciting matchup between the two top teams in the Western Conference, there is a little cause for concern on the Lakers end.
The injury to Avery Bradley, coupled with the addition of defensive liabilities in Rajon Rondo and Kyle Kuzma into the rotation, has affected the Lakers on that end. However, after ranking in the middle of the pack in offensive rating to start the season, the Lakers have risen to 8th, while maintaining a strong net rating of +8.
