The Los Angeles Lakers host the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
This game will have definite playoff implications, especially given where both teams are in the standings. The Lakers, with a 41-25 record, are in fourth place in the Western Conference, and they’re half a game ahead of the Nuggets, who have a 41-26 mark and are in fifth place. A victory in this game would mean Los Angeles will win the season series, which would give it the tiebreaker in the event that both teams finish the regular season with the same record.
L.A. has a four-game winning streak and has won seven of its last eight games. In Thursday’s 142-130 win over the Chicago Bulls, Luka Doncic erupted for 51 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists, making it his highest scoring game since coming to the team. In that same game, Austin Reaves had 30 points after going for 31 points on Tuesday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves.
