Tonight at 9:00 p.m. ET the disappointing Denver Nuggets (2-4) will try to get back on a winning track in the mile high air when they host the Los Angeles Lakers (4-5) in NBA action that can be live streamed here. Lakers fans can tune in to the radio broadcast on 710 ESPN, while Nuggets fans can listen to the action on 93.7 Mile High Sports.
While the run and gun Nuggets of last season seem to have left the building with last year's front office and head coach, they are hoping the return of Wilson Chandler can help stabilize the offense. "He brings a lot to the table," head coach Brian Shaw said of Chandler.
"I kind of got a little gleam in my eye in anticipation of him coming back. Just overall, it gives a big shot in our arm having him out there. I wouldn't immediately throw (Chandler) into the starting lineup. Just get him in, get him a good 5-minute run, see how that goes and build from there."
The Nuggets are hoping to build off a 100-81 win over Utah on Monday, and re-establish themselves as a team to watch in the Western Conference.
The Lakers are also riding high after smashing the Pelicans 116-95 last night, behind 21 points and 11 boards from Jordan Hill. "We've just got to do this every night, because we're not good enough to take any plays off," Hill said. "We've got to have that energy every time we step on the floor. That's what I try to bring whenever I'm there. I don't care if I'm starting."
In addition to Hill's energy and dominance, center Pau Gasol seemed more like himself in the victory with 14 points and eight rebounds on 60 percent shooting from the field.
