The Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Lakers clash at Ball Arena in an NBA clash. The Nuggets are in fifth place in the Western Conference, while the Lakers are in sixth place. Here's our match prediction.
The Denver Nuggets come into this match off the back of a hard-fought 128-125 away victory. Jamal Murray was the man of the moment, leading the team with a game-high 45 points.
That result couldn't have come at a better time, considering that they were on a two-match losing streak against the Thunder and the Timberwolves.
The Nuggets return to their humble abode for a mini two-game homestand. They have won two of their last three matches, but scratch beneath the surface, and you'll find a team struggling with rhythm as they are 2-3 in their last five matches.
The Los Angeles Lakers are beginning to find their rhythm after a three-match losing streak. Their last setback against the Suns on February 27 opened the door for a three-game winning streak.
Their recent win was against the New Orleans Pelicans. Luka Doncic was the star of the show as he led the team with a game-high 27 points, ten rebounds, and seven assists. This resulted in the team's 110-101 home win.
This time around, the Lakers are on the road. They have won five of their last eight matches.
