Denver Nuggets Team News

Denver crowned their “process” last season and their trust in the Jokic-Murray tandem paid off. It was this tandem that brought the NBA title to Colorado, for the first time in the history of this franchise. At the opening of the season, they are greeted by a celebratory atmosphere and a very dangerous opponent who wants to spoil their celebration and get revenge for the “swept” in the playoffs. The Nuggets did not change much during the summer, but the departure of Bruce Brown, who strengthened the Pacers, will be felt quite a bit. Brown was a serious defensive engine of the Nuggets and was always the first in the counterattack, and phenomenally used the touch-down passes delivered to him by Nikola Jokic.

Nikola Jokic is the alpha and omega of this team, they led the Nuggets to the championship ring in all segments of the game. He has proven that he is the best player in the league for a couple of years, but this season he made all his teammates much better and got the most out of them. Jokic had the biggest help last season in the form of Murray, who took responsibility and hit very important shots. Jokic showed special class against the Lakers when he dominated in a direct duel against Davis, even though Davis is known as one of the best defensive centers.

The Nuggets played quite erratically during the preparations, but when the guys who won the trophy last season were together on the floor, it looked very fluid and coordinated in both directions. The main matchup will be a duel between Jokic and Davis, as well as the question of whether Lebron has sufficiently recovered from the injury that plagued him during the summer. Murray and Jokic did not play at the world championships for their national teams this summer and welcome the new season fresh and rested.

Los Angeles Lakers Team News

The Lakers enter this season with the highest possible ambitions, and if they stay healthy throughout the season and the playoffs, they are one of the biggest favorites to win an NBA ring. It will be especially important how many injury problems the duo Davis and James will have. Davis has struggled with injuries throughout his career, but when he is fit he is one of the best players on the planet. James is always in impeccable physical condition, but his age is catching up with him, so injuries are becoming more frequent.

The Lakers put up a great resistance against the Nuggets in the playoffs, but they still got swept. This is an ideal opportunity to get revenge on the champions at the very start of the season and to start the new season with a victory and further boost their confidence. The Lakers didn’t change much this summer either, and the loudest addition is Christian Wood, who will bring additional width and strength to the racket. What makes Lakers fans especially happy is the rapid progress of Austin Reaves, who became one of the team’s leaders over the last season, and even bigger things are expected of him this season.
