After winning each of their last two games, the Los Angeles Lakers will go head-to-head against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. Both teams met up last Friday in a game that culminated in a victory for the Nuggets.

With the 6-foot-8 Gordon operating as Denver’s center, rookie Quinten Post got played off the court. The Warriors had centered their game plan around stopping Jokic, but had to scrap that pregame when Denver ruled him out. The Nuggets spaced out the Warriors and capitalized on their turnovers.

Denver Nuggets stars Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, earlier listed as questionable, sat out Monday night's 114-105 victory over the Golden State Warriors to nurse nagging injuries, missing a win that saw veteran Russell Westbrook author a triple-double.
