Highlights Video :
When the Lakers and the Nuggets met earlier this month, Lou Williams and Nick Young almost brought the Lakers back from a 19 point deficit with their combined 46 points. Unfortunately, they came up just short and fell to the Nuggets 127-121.
One thing that kept the Lakers in the game last time was their ability to grab rebounds. They were only outrebounded by the Nuggets, the second best rebounding team in the NBA, by two. With Nikola Jokic out for tonight’s game, Los Angeles should try to use their size in the paint to their advantage.
Denver might also be without three of their best guards, Jamal Murray, Emmanuel Mudiay and Will Barton. In their last meeting, Mudiay finished the game with 14 points on five-for-seven shooting from the field and Nuggets Twitter lost their mind.
Apparently having the worst field goal percentage in the NBA and trailing D’Angelo Russell in literally every statistical category, except free throw percentage and minutes played, makes him the point God. Sigh.
Unfortunately, the two will likely not get a chance to duel again tonight as Mudiay is listed as questionable with a back injury. Probably from carrying the Nuggets with his mind blowing 12.1 points per game. I don’t know, just a guess.
