Los Angeles Lakers seek sixth straight win, face red-hot Denver Nuggets

The Hindu  

LeBron James has been dominating the league for 20 seasons, including this year as his Los Angeles Lakers struggle to stay in the Western Conference playoff race. When you play the game the right way, I think the basketball gods kind of give back to you.” One guy playing the right way is Nuggets center Nikola Jokic. “I think Nikola could win the next five MVPs,” teammate Michael Porter Jr. said Sunday. After he had 28 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in a 121-108 win over visiting Cleveland on Friday night, Cavaliers forward Kevin Love said Jokic “looks like he’s on the way to potentially a third MVP.” The difference in this campaign is Jokic is surrounded by more talent.
