[74 more players](https://en.as.com/nba/why-are-nba-teams-waiting-until-december-15-to-make-trades-n/)are now available to be in trade negotiations as of Thursday. - For the Lakers’ injury report, the team is listing Anthony Davis (low back tightness) and LeBron James (left ankle soreness) as probably for Friday. You can follow Nicole on Twitter at [@nicoleganglani](https://twitter.com/nicoleganglani). And like it has been all season, Davis and James are expected to power through and carry their flawed team after a heartbreaking loss (once again) against the This is going to be a tough matchup for the Lakers especially given their lack of frontcourt depth and size issues, because aside from being the third-best team in the Western Conference, the Nuggets are currently averaging 53.2 points in the paint per game this season. That’s the only thing they have is transition and the paint.”— Sam Quinn (@SamQuinnCBS) [those clutch free throws](https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2022/12/14/23510048/lebron-james-anthony-davis-free-throw-lakers-celtics-fourth-quarter-overtime-sixers-clutch) that could’ve probably sealed the game. Or James should’ve focused on driving to the basket instead of chucking inefficient 3-pointers late in the game, or simply made [his defensive rotations.](https://twitter.com/LAbound2/status/1603041925501796355) But the result of their minimal mistakes just proves that the margin for error (even if they’re playing at a high level) is extremely thin, and that’s basically a reflection of the position they’re in. If a rookie head coach like Mazzulla is well aware of the Lakers’ biggest problems, their front office should be too, and they aren’t doing their superstars a favor by improving their chances to compete. What made Los Angeles’ epic collapse 10 times worse was that their superstars’ heroic [efforts weren’t enough to save the day](https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2022/12/13/23508697/lakers-trade-rumors-lebron-james-anthony-davis-russell-westbrook-rob-pelinka-celtics-darvin-ham). Mazzulla would’ve nailed the hammer on the head had he also said that this team can’t guard anyone taller than 6’5 to save their lives, are Because nothing screams “get them more help” than James and Davis have to exhaust themselves as early as December in Game 27.

Perhaps, this is the type of matchup we could see in the playoffs in a few months! With all that being said, I’m going to grab the Lakers’ Moneyline.

Scoring inside isn't expected to come as easy against the Lakers. The Nuggets were left scratching their heads following a season-long three game losing streak to open December. Davis missed one of two free throws against the Sixers with 3.7 seconds remaining to force OT. And Los Angeles had a chance to win both games had Anthony Davis been able to make late free throws. 2 during a 133-129 road victory against the Milwaukee Bucks to open a 3-3 road trip. After starting the season 2-10 and going 9-6 since, the Lakers believe they have more in them.

The Nuggets are not going to get very far in the playoffs if they have to rely on scoring 130+ points a game. The Nuggets defense struggled — to say the least — but Denver’s offense carried them to their third consecutive victory, which is a number they’ll look to stretch to four tonight in Los Angeles against the [Lakers](https://www.silverscreenandroll.com). That’s because the Nuggets gave up 128 points and even though they escaped with the victory it took some pretty phenomenal offense to archive that. Denver and Los Angeles have already squared off twice this season with the Nuggets winning the first game at home, while the Lakers won the last one in LA. The biggest thing I’ll be keeping my eye on is how the Nuggets play defensively. Injuries: Collin Gillespie (leg) OUT, Michael Porter Jr.

In the Nuggets’ last 3 that’s up to 41.7%, and on the road for the season they are at 38.5% — which is the 6th-worst mark in the entire NBA. The Lakers have a tendency to score a lot in home games this season, and AD going over 30 is a must if they want to stay competitive in this one. In their last 3 that number is up to 28.3, so I expect Jokic to do a lot of damage. He has been aggressive, taking the ball to the basket and playing like the AD we saw back when he was with the Pelicans.

The Lakers give up the third-most rebounds on a nightly basis, allowing just under 55 to opponents per game. Anthony Davis is a tough defensive matchup for any center, but Jokic should be able to stay hot and rack up 24-plus points due to sheer volume alone. Jokic has picked up his scoring quite a bit as of late, surpassing 23.5 points five times in his last six contests.

Since then, with AD now healthier, he's been the one getting up court faster and putting defenses on their heels, so seeing who can win that early positioning battle to gain an advantage offensively is one of the games within the game worth watching in this one. Jokic tried to take advantage of this by sprinting the floor in order to establish early position down low and get easier scoring chances, not only against Davis but a smaller Lakers defender who might have to pick him up if AD wasn't yet back. But if the Lakers could start to clean up their defensive glass and find ways to get back in transition with more urgency, it would go a long way towards helping them regain their early season form defensively. For the season the Lakers are last in the NBA, allowing 17.4 points per game in transition. The Lakers are up to 22nd in Offensive Efficiency for the season with a 110.5 rating. While the offense has trended way up, the Lakers defense has not been able to keep pace with its early season levels.

Lakers Vs. Nuggets Preview: Reigning MVP In Town As L.A. Looks ... (LakersNation.com)

The Los Angeles Lakers face the reigning MVP Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets in a Friday night primetime battle.

On the offensive end, James and Davis must continue their strong play to take advantage of a Nuggets defense that has vulnerabilities in the paint. It’s the best way to watch player interviews, exclusive coverage from events, participate in live shows, and more! None of those players can be left open on the perimeter, and the latter two can get to their spots with ease if given space. Without Porter, the Lakers and Nuggets are built in relatively similar ways. Not having to worry about a big wing that can score in any way imaginable should give the Lakers some breathing room defensively. After Anthony Davis, the Lakers are struggling to find anyone who can successfully guard the paint.
