INJURY TO WATCH
Denver power forward Tyler Lydon (knee) is out indefinitely. For the Lakers, Brandon Ingram (hip flexor strain) and Channing Frye (appendix) are out until late March.
BETTING STRATEGY
These two squads played Friday night in Denver with the Nuggets coming away with a 125-116 victory. Expect a different result this time around. Not only is it difficult to beat a team twice in such a short period of time, but the young Lakers have grown in confidence a ton over the course of the season and have won seven of their last 10 games straight up. Los Angeles is 17-15 straight up at home this season, while Denver is only 11-20 on the road. In my opinion, the wrong team is favored here. But that’s why they play the game.
