About this episode
The Lakers have a critical game coming on Sunday against the Nuggets, the only team to beat them over the last seven games.
It's one that could go a long way to determining seeding in the Western Conference, and a win would give the Lakers a big tiebreaker advantage over Denver to go along with the tiebreaker they've already earned over Minnesota.
The Nuggets will be playing a stronger hand, with Cam Johnson, Aaron Gordon and Spencer Jones all expected to play after missing last week's game. The Lakers, on the other hand, will almost surely be missing Maxi Kleber and Jaxson Hayes, with Marcus Smart a major question mark. That'll put a lot of pressure not only on the Big Three, but players like Deandre Ayton to continue his recent run of good play.
So what to watch for? We break it down, here.
HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky
