The Denver Nuggets held onto the No. 3 seed by defeating the San Antonio Spurs, 128-118. That result means the Lakers will face the Houston Rockets in the first round. The Lakers are scheduled to play at least four more games this postseason.
Health concerns and series outlook
Reports indicate the Lakers could be without Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves for part or all of the opening series while they recover from injuries. Losing those players would leave Los Angeles short-handed. The club will rely heavily on LeBron to lift the team in a difficult matchup.
