The Los Angeles Lakers visit the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
This will be the first of eight straight games on the road for the Lakers (the second game of this trip will be at the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday), and it will be a road trip that could very well be a fork in the road for them. They have lost 12 of their last 20 games, and over the last several weeks, they have fallen from second place to sixth place in the Western Conference. With a 25-16 record, they’re in a virtual tie with the seventh-place Phoenix Suns.
Los Angeles has had a lot of trouble with the Nuggets in recent seasons. In the previous three years, including the playoffs, it has lost 14 of 17 games to them. The Nuggets swept L.A. in the 2023 Western Conference finals and knocked it out of the first round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs in five games.
Right now, Denver is without three-time MVP Nikola Jokić, but it is in third place in the West with a 29-14 record and has won seven of its 11 games since he injured his knee. Guard Jamal Murray, who has gone off against the Lakers in the past, is having his best season ever, as is forward Aaron Gordon.
