Russell Westbrook is out for the Lakers tonight. This may be addition by subtraction. The Lakers also have a favorable matchup down-low with Anthony Davis facing Nikola Jokic. Against Jokic, Davis averages 26.9 points and 8.1 rebounds. While Jokic only averages 17.2 points and 9.1 rebounds against Davis. The Nuggets have the 4th worst defensive efficiency this season, while the Lakers are 3rd in the league. Michael Porter Jr. is out for tonight’s contest as well. I’m on the Lakers.
