After a frustrating loss against the Nuggets, the Lakers respond by beating the Pacers 128-117.

The Lakers lead the Pacers 99-80. Luka Dončić has 44 points. His Lakers high is 49.

MVP chants are very loud for Luka Dončić tonight. He has 41 points.

The Lakers are ahead of the Pacers 64-51 at the half. Luka Dončić has 29 points.

Luke Kennard is having another productive night. He has 8 points, 3 rebounds, and just got his first assist, passing the ball to Jaxson Hayes for an easy two. The Lakers are in front 56-49.

These Pacers are unbelievably athletic. They fly to the rim and finish with authority. LA remains up 51-47 midway through the second quarter.

The Lakers lead the Pacers 35-27. Luka Dončić went absolutely berserk in the opening quarter, scoring 22 points and going 5-5 from deep.

Drew Timme is checking into the game midway through the first.

Both teams are trading baskets early. The Pacers lead the Lakers 15-13.

Rui Hachimura gets the scoring started for the Lakers.

I predicted every Lakers game, and now that we are 75% through the regular season, let's revisit it. I had the Lakers at 40-22 after 62 games. They are actually 37-25. LA needs to go 13-7 the rest of the way to reach 50 wins.

With LeBron James and Deandre Ayton out, the Lakers will start Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes.

"He's the greatest player I've ever coached," - Rick Carlisle on Luka Dončić

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said, "It's hell" having to defend Luka Dončić. He called speeding him up or slowing him down an "impossible task."

I'm here covering Lakers-Pacers on behalf of @lakerssbn.bsky.social. Jake LaRavia, Dalton Knecht and Drew Timme are on the court getting shots up early.

JJ Redick says LeBron James is "a little banged up." He expects him to play in the upcoming game. Redick said Deandre Ayton is day-to-day.

LeBron James, Deandre Ayton and Maxi Kleber are all out for LA’s game tonight against Indiana.

Sometimes, you just have to call a friend to feel better.

The Lakers have a chance in this one. They now trail by just seven points against the Nuggets as they enter the final period.

LeBron James, at the very least is present and active. He has 10 points on 4-5 shooting.

8-3 start for the Nuggets in this second quarter. If the game continues to flow the way Denver wants, then LA will drown. The Lakers call a timeout to try to stop this onslaught.

The Nuggets dogwalked the Lakers to start this game, going on an 11-0 run. LA trails 32-22 after one quarter of play.

Starters for Lakers-Nuggets

Via the Lakers: Maxi Kleber, back soreness, has been downgraded to out for tonight’s game at Denver.

This is it, Lakers fans. This stretch is the big one.

I was looking at Luka Dončić's numbers this week and noticed he had zero offensive rebounds. He was the only rotation player who didn't get a single offensive board. On the season, he is averaging 0.7 offensive rebounds, which would tie his career low in that category.

I'm very much looking forward to Lakers-Nuggets. This is a tough opponent and would be a statement win for LA. I think a lot of questions about who the Lakers are will be answered during these next eight games.

How can you not be romantic about basketball? Congrats to Mist for winning the Unrivaled title.

Maxi Kleber is questionable for tomorrow's game between the Lakers and Nuggets.

You can't say you want all the Pelicans players and then call the whole team trash,” Raj is hilarious.
