    Denver Nuggets (5-7)
    at
    Los Angeles Lakers (3-10)
    6:30 PM Pacific

    The Nuggets swept the 2013-14 season series against the Lakers, winning their three games by a total of 42 points. In fact the Lakers have lost six straight to Denver. The Nuggets are only 2-4 on the road the road this season, so the surging Lakers have a fighting chance tonight.

    Ty Lawson has taken a particular delight in destroying the Lakers. He averaged 23 points and 12 assists in three games last season against LA. The Lakers' Jordan Hill averaged nearly a double double (13.5, 9.0) in only 21 minutes over two games against Denver last season. Kobe Bryant hasn't beaten the Nuggets since November 30th, 2011.

    Denver 107

    I am predicting a win. We are not going to get a lot this year, and hopefully we can grab another one here. Winning 3 out of our last 4 would be a beautifully deceptive stat.

    We could, maybe, win this game. You never know.... but I won't count on it. Hopefully, Ed will start today.

    I don't think there's much deceptive about it. We're not an 18-win team. We're much closer to 36 than that. I'll take it regardless.

    This is a game we can win and should win. Ed Davis should step up big time tonight.

    Ed Davis reminds me of Bynum just a bit shorter and skinnier the way he keeps the ball high when he attacks or shoots towards the basket, defensively he has potential to be a the deandre Jordan of our team. He just needs to bulk up and work on his game. Boozer isn't worth being a starter, Davis deserves it. Come on Byron!

    Heavy minutes for Davis is probably better than heavy minutes of Boozer.

    On record, this should be a winnable game, but Denver has been hot lately. Could be a trap game since it's the first after a road trip.
