This line already was extra-large before Luka Doncic was declared out. It has only moved slightly since then even though the Lakers are so short-handed they likely would tap into their G-League team for reinforcements if there were time. Alas, the Lakers just arrived in Denver from a Thursday night beatdown in Milwaukee. This game concludes a winless four-stop road trip. It would hardly be surprising that -- with four players scratched, notably LeBron James -- L.A. goes through the motions and heads home to regroup. The Nuggets, who are tied with the Lakers in the loss column, should not take it lightly.
