On the second night of a back-to-back, and without four starters, Austin Reaves produced 37 points, 13 assists, eight rebounds and four steals against the Nuggets.

This marks the third straight loss for the Lakers after an eight-game winning streak. LA continues to battle durability as three starters were out James (left groin strain), Jaxson Hayes (right knee contusion), and Rui Hachimura (left patellar tendinopathy).
