What you need to know about the Lakers

Los Angeles will wrap up one of its most disappointing seasons in franchise history on Sunday night. The Lakers entered the year with title aspirations, but they will finish the year without a playoff berth. They were able to snap an eight-game losing streak with a 120-101 win over Oklahoma City on Friday night. 

The Lakers were officially eliminated from play-in tournament contention on Tuesday. LeBron James (ankle), Anthony Davis (foot) and Russell Westbrook (shoulder) are all going to miss this contest. Stanley Johnson scored a season-high 21 points on Friday, leading Los Angeles to its sixth win in its past 27 games. 

What you need to know about the Nuggets

Denver has a chance to move up to the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference with a win and a Utah loss on Sunday. The Nuggets have won 20 of their last 29 games, led by reigning MVP Nikola Jokic. He has scored at least 35 points in each of his last five games and is expected to repeat as the MVP. 

Jokic became the first player in NBA history to have 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 500 assists in a season when he scored 35 points, grabbed 16 rebounds and dished out six assists against Memphis on Thursday. Denver has been without star guard Jamal Murray (ACL) for the entire season. The Nuggets have only covered the spread once in their last five home games.
