Los Angeles Lakers Expected Starting Lineup Vs. Nuggets

The Los Angeles Lakers won the first game in the regular season, and it was enough for fans to cheering for their next win. The team defeated the Phoenix Suns, and is now off to another win. This time the Lakers will confront the Denver Nuggets.

Are the Lakers ready for the undefeated Denver Nuggets? It will be a big bite to swallow. The Nuggets have one of the best defenses in the league. So, how will LeBron and his teammates play?

This contest requires a level of tactical precision from Luke Walton. The Suns were an easy catch. Svi Mykhailiuk played for 20 minutes, and that’s a “luxury” the Lakers cannot afford that in the game against the Nuggets. Walton better get the lineup right for this game.

Lonzo Ball is the only point guard on the Lakers roster. He will get another chance to prove himself as a starter. The team hoped that Ball would come back to the court slowly, but Rajon Rondo’s suspension changed that. Ball had to enter the game against the Spurs. He did a really great job against the Rockets, and had an awesome start against the Spurs.

It was about time that the Lakers add Josh Hart to the game. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope played 19 minutes in the game against the Spurs, and Hart played 39. Who is better? Hart, of course. This is more than obvious.

Walton is taking a risk by the addition of Kyle Kuzma into the starting lineup despite the fact that he is the most qualified forward for the position.

LeBron James is ready to give his best on the court. We all saw his missed free throws against the Spurs, but this has nothing on his brilliance. LeBron is spectacular and so is his game.

JaVale McGee is the lone true center on the Lakers roster, and the team has leaned on him.
