Los Angeles Lakers vs Denver Nuggets Lineup Predictions And Injury Update

The Los Angeles Lakers lost three straight games after clinching the top seed in the West. Unlike LA, the Denver Nuggets have won two out of three of their previous games. They overcame a 14-point halftime deficit against the Utah Jazz in the previous contest. Yes, they defeated them with a 134-132 score. The Lakers took a different path, but pretty much everyone is optimistic about their trip to the NBA Finals. There are many predictions regarding the Lakers vs Nuggets game, and the teams have released the official injury report.

Lakers head coach Frank Vogel plans to bring back the A-game. LA shooters need to level up. The team suffered back-to-back losses against the Houston Rockets, Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder. These losses are nothing but a motivation for the team. Vogel needs its top scorers ready and healthy for the next few months. But, most of the players are listed as probable for the game against the Nuggets.

Top players won’t suit up for the Lakers vs Nuggets game

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope won’t join the team due to the injury he sustained in the game against the Indiana Pacers. Myles Turner landed on his ankle and it was bad. It’s not a serious injury, but it may have a huge impact on the gameplan.

Will LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Dwight Howard play? The team lists them as probable. Davis has yet to unleash the beast inside him. This is a rather important game for the Lakers and they need to level up their performances.

Pope is out, and Vogel will go with the predicted lineup. JaVale McGee, LeBron, Davis, Danny Green and Alex Caruso will build the winning lineup for the Lakers.

The Nuggets will try to win this game to clinch the third seed in the conference. They will also get a chance to defeat the favorites. Guard Jamal Murray joined the team for the game against Utah. He missed four games due to a hamstring injury.

Will Barton and Garry Harris won’t play. Michael Porter Jr. will probably step in as a key player. The Lakers should consider his shooting and rebound skills as a threat.
