LAL vs DEN Dream11 Match Prediction

MIL vs LAL Dream11: For the first time this season, Los Angeles Lakers go into a game with two successive defeats. But can they avoid the ignominy of three straight drops against the Denver Nuggets who are red-hot at the moment, as they come into the away tilt against the Lakers with the joint-best run in the league?

Form:

Los Angeles Lakers:

As mentioned above, the Lakers will try to avoid three successive defeats here.
Indiana Pacers took full advantage the shorthanded Lakers, who missed Anthony Davis through injury, as they beat the Western Conference leaders 105-102 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
Lakers stayed in the East for a huge clash against Milwaukee Bucks, but the reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo was too hot to handle and was the main antagonist in Lakers’ 111-104 win at Fiserv Forum.
Now the Lakers are hurt and will surely be motivated enough to end the skid here, at home, in front of home fans.

Denver Nuggets:

Nuggets are hot at the moment. All the talks of Nuggets struggling to recapture the last season’s form are up in the air now.
Nuggets have risen to 3rd on the points table as a result.
But Nuggets have struggled away from home and have 6-5 return from the away games.
