This Thursday, the Lakers will host the Nuggets for a Western Conference matchup at Crypto.com Arena on TNT.
The Lakers are in ninth place in the Western Conference with a record of 27-25. They have struggled during various parts of the regular season despite being healthier than they used to be in the LeBron James/Anthony Davis era.
At 116.4 points per game, the Lakers are in the middle of the pack on offense, ranking 15th. Their defense isn’t much better, allowing 117 points per game, making their unit the 18th best defense of the NBA.
James and Davis lead the Lakers in scoring, 24.9 and 24.7 points per game, respectively. Davis leads the Lakers on the boards, recording 12.2 rebounds per game. James leads the team in assists, dishing out 7.6 per game.
The Nuggets are fourth in the Western Conference with a record of 35-16. They have an impressive 21-4 record at home this season, but 14-12 on the road, giving the Lakers a clear advantage.
Surprisingly, the Nuggets, like the Lakers, have a middling offense this season, scoring 114.8 points per game (16th in the NBA). Unlike the Lakers, their defense is elite. Holding opponents to an average of 110.6 points per game this season, the Nuggets’ defense ranks fourth in the NBA.
Jokic is putting together another MVP-caliber season. And now, with Joel Embiid out with a meniscus injury, Jokic has a chance at another MVP award. This season, he is scoring 26.3 points, 12.2 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game, leading the Nuggets in all categories.
