Both teams started the season as contenders, and both have a disappointing start. Especially the Lakers who are one of just three teams without any win this season. MPJ and Westbrook are doubtful tonight. Porter is arguably Denver's #2 best player so far this season, while Westbrook with FG% under 30% and 3p% under 10% has a negative impact so far on the Lakers game. If both are out tonight it will be in the Lakers' favor.
