Key facts

• Juan Toscano-Anderson is out for the Lakers
• Collin Gillespie is out for the Nuggets
• Denver has won 3 of the last 5 against LA

This should have been a potential Playoff matchup but the way the Lakers play, they will probably miss the post-season for the second consecutive year. It is obvious that they have improved but are still one big step behind teams like Denver. Nikola Jokic has a chance to become only the third player in NBA history to win three consecutive MVP awards and he is on the way to be at least a finalist. The Serbian is averaging almost a triple-double and has scored over 30 points in each of the last three games. He is coming off his best night this season, scoring 43 against the Wizards which is much over the given margin of 25.5. The Lakers are not a good defensive team and usually allow many points. Knowing that, and how good Jokic is playing, he is definitely going over this margin tonight.
