There couldn’t have been a more eagerly awaited encounter than the clash which is set to be doled our way today in NBA 2019-20. When Western Conference’s staunch stalwarts Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers clash heads in today’s impending encounter, this is a tie which is set to set the league alight and take it by aplomb.
It’s the form which both these sides come bestowed with in this clash which makes this such an edge of the seat thriller, a match which will see both of these sides throw the kitchen sink and more at each other. A win for either side today would serve as a massive shot in the arm and help assert their credentials as firm favourites for the prestigious trophy.
Currently in second place, for Denver Nuggets a win takes paramount precedence if they are to bridge the gap between themselves and first placed Los Angeles Lakers. The 100-97 defeat which was handed out to them the last time around by Sacramento Kings was their fourth in 17 games, a result which was a calamitous defeat in their ambitions of challenging for first place.
And when they take on Los Angeles Lakers today, an outing which should have been a foregone conclusion has suddenly opened up after Dallas Mavericks exposed the flaws in the visiting side. Erasing a third quarter deficits, the Mavericks went onto hand over Los Angeles Lakers what was only their third defeat the last time around as they downed them 114-100.
