The Los Angeles Lakers are back in action on Saturday night hosting the Denver Nuggets, who have won 12 of the last 13 meetings, including two postseasons series’.
After beating Denver in the Western Conference Finals in 2020, the Nuggets have had the Lakers’ number ever since. That is due in part to Nikola Jokic being seemingly unguardable and L.A. not having the backcourt presence to contain Jamal Murray.
Although, in the first matchup between these two teams this season, the Nuggets are on the second night of a back-to-back, losing at home to the Dallas Mavericks on Friday.
