Pregame
The Lakers (3-10) return home from a three-game trip to host their first under-.500 opponent of the season.
The Denver Nuggets (5-7) started the season slowly but have since won three in a row.
Carlos Boozer (strained left shoulder) is questionable, but Jeremy Lin (sore back) is expected to play. The Lakers will play without Ryan Kelly (hamstring), Steve Nash (back) and Julius Randle (leg).
