2024 NBA Season

[gagux123]

Hi guys, I've been away for a while and that's why I'm out of date with NBA news.

I saw, LeBron James and AD went back to playing. Any news from players who are injured?
Any news from teams and players?
Thanks

Lakers Schroder is away due to health protocol.
Jamal Murray of the Nuggets will be out the whole season. Torn ACL
Others are listed here. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/injuries/

Lakers unable to win despite the Raptors lack of role players playing.
There's just no chemistry unlike last year. Defense is also not there and turnovers are soaring.
What could be missing in this team? AD and James are back but it got worse. I don't think Schroder could also fix it.
Did they become comfortable just because they already gained a championship? I can't see any spark at all.

Thank you for this information!
This season several players suffered injuries, this is something of worrisome.

I hope these players will recover soon.
I read a news, LeBron James said he is not 100% recovered and he is in some pain, but I don't know if this is a rumor or if it is true.

I think for the Lakers win NBA this year, AD and LeBron James, need to be 100% recovered (or almost so), and the team needs to be in chemistry.

[Fredomago]

Lakers has been bugged by Injuries this year. AD and LeBron hasn't played each other for quite a long time since AD got injured first.
Drummond acquisition made them become more bigger. So, yeah anyone could beat them with speed. Especially when Schröder isn't playing. He plays a major role to the Lakers team.
Now, If the Lakers can't complete their roster fully healthy in the remainder of the season. I'm afraid they'll lose everything.

I'm starting to lose the confidence with them making to the playoffs.

People forget that Lebron is an insane basketball player when he can play at 100%. Cavs were 4th in the league on his last season and he almost took out Warriors on the first game if it wasn't for JR Smith mistake in the end. Sure it wasn't really just him, but 90%+ was all him, that is why I think it is clear that if Lebron comes back and plays with 100% plus you give him AD as well? That is going to be so much different.

I do not think that there is even a slight chance that they could miss the playoffs, they will make it to playoffs for sure and they are going to beat everyone again, he is just that good and he has AD with him as well, AD is also another player who managed to bring his old team into slight success because without him New Orleans was a tanking level bottom team. With this much injury, it was expected for them to lose games obviously.

Once they've started to play as a team and chemistry starts to sparks among the players they will start to win every games, Lebron's leadership will surely show up after some games.

Both him and AD are now back though the injuries might still not allowing them to play 100% but given enough time they will take this again.

A good challenged for the entire lakers to rebuild their intensity and start making good plays to win.

I'ved also read that article wherein Lebron James said that he is not 100 percent healthy at the moment and will never be 100 percent like when he is younger, that's understandable as father time is catching up on him. Even though he is not totally healthy but with him back on the floor gives the Lakers some confidence and moral going into the playoff as that is what every team needs right now.

I was surprised about the line of the Lakers vs Nuggets game tonight, it opened at Lakers -1.5, and now it's +5.5 for the Lakers.
So I checked the possible reason, and find out that Davis will not play due to an elbow injury.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2803204-anthony-davis-will-not-play-vs-nuggets-because-of-elbow-injury

I don't know if the Lakers could win here, but as a desperate team, I think they are worth betting.
While the Lakers have been struggling, this Nuggets team is playing good basketball in their last 10 games, won 9 out of 10.. so I guess the line is just right but anytime Lebron could activate.

He tweeted today asking fellow twitter users for the most comfortable gaming chair. I think he is planing to sit out a few games now since he aggravated his injury playing against the Raptors. There is a good chance that AD sits out as well due to elbow injury. Which means the Nuggets should have an easy time to beat an injury stricken Lakers team.

Cant still make out conclusions on whose gonna win but with those factors then you can easily say that it would really be somewhat easy on beating them up.

Its sad to see that Laker's main players are really into that condition and with that Lebron's words then its understandable. Seems like they would really be piling up their loses on upcoming games.

That would be a disaster for the Lakers if Lebron will sit, Nuggets as one of the hottest teams now would easily dominate them and Jokic is just unstoppable now together with the role players that anytime read to contribute. The Lakers' chance to win here is if Lebron will be playing, it's okay if Davis will not play as they still have Drummond, maybe as a bettor, it's wise to just bet this game live so we would know if Lebron will play.

Yes, this is sad and worrying, LeBron James is no longer young, he is already 36 years old, but he has been playing very well lately, I look forward to him coming back soon and doing his best in the playoffs

I am 100% certain that LeBron wont play against the Nuggets and same can be said about Anthony Davis. There is still Drummond to defend against Jokic but you can expect a lot more distribution from him since there arent many elite defenders for the Lakers. There's a chance that Kyle Kuzma might sit too. He is listed as probable, so I am not sure. I am still wondering why it is still over 1.6x on the Nuggets though while they are on a hot winning streak. There must be something that Im missing.

Yeah any of those cavs teams really didn't have any business being where they were.  Some years boobie Gibson and Anderson A were his main secondary players lol.  Those teams they should have and would have been one of the worst teams in the league without lebron.

If lebron and AD are healthy I feel bad for the other play in teams because they won't have a realistic shot.  I hate watching the Lakers but playoff lebron is fun to watch.

Its confirmed that LeBron James will miss Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets due to a sore right ankle.
Also his game against Clippers is still uncertain. So forget it this match will be not an easy sight.
Nuggets are in a great form while Lakers have been struggling without James and the struggle continues tonight.
The odds for Nuggets win are @ 1.55 and going down better to bet now because it many will follow and bet on them to win.

Though it may seem to be posted on the NBA betting thread I still believe this is good here. Lakers will continue to struggle if most of their star players wouldn't be able to play and sad to say if they continue to get injured and injured that will be imminent for their careers to get low, just my two cents

Oh not good news for Lakers fan, but I think it's a good decision though. Those past 2 games Lebron has been playing, it seems that he has push his body just coming back from an injury.

But hey, if San Antonio without 4 of their starters against the Sixers last night played very well and almost got a win in OT, why not Lakers against the Nuggets. 

[wheelz1200]

Only the first half of the Knicks game but man they are looking good.  11-18 from beyond the arc and just dropped 44 points in the second quarter.  Up by double digits at half away on the second game of an away back to back.  This team is getting hot at the right time.

[danherbias07]

This may be "it" for the Pelicans after losing against the Warriors just minutes ago.  
They need to make an "almost" perfect win with their last remaining games to get a spot and pray that Spurs will keep on losing.
But when I look at their schedule, it's scary. 2 more with the Warriors, 76ers, Lakers Grizzlies and Mavs. All of this team needs a win especially Lakers and Mavs.

Steph Curry scoring spree again. Lonzo Ball cannot handle him.
41 points 8/18 at the three point line. This is his 9th 40+ game of the season.

I think it looks like they’re saving him for games they think they can win to give him extra recovery time. Jokic and the Nuggets have been looking great lately and if I were making a guess I would say that has more to do with LeBron being out than his ankle sprain. It gives AD a chance to be the focus and get his game back into swing, so maybe it’s a blessing in disguise. Hope to see Bron back to near full health for the play-in. It looks like that’s where we’re headed.

The Knicks always looks this way, and specially if they have a good cushion? hard to beat them as they are good at defending their lead.

Randall almost got 30 points in the games Grizzlies was able to cut the lead to 6 if I'm not mistaken, but then again, as I have said, Knicks close the game and winning the game with 14 points, so they covered the handicapped again.

Lakers looking good without Lebron James, leading by 10 against the Nuggets. Anthony Davis is having the best game since he comes back from injury.

I was only able to watch the 4th quarter but I thought they looked pretty bad. Some questionable calls helped them get the victory but I think their bench was the only bright spot in the game. With Jamal Murray out nursing an injury I think this win isn’t as great as it looks. Still, a W without LeBron is exactly what they needed and they got it.

They almost lost the game with two minutes remaining they are still regrouping and adjusting to players who have come back to the lineup, I thought it would be easy for them like I have said yesterday, looks like they have to figure it out, but they will be in the playoffs for sure, hoping they will play better next game tough task ahead.

Exactly, they got the W without the Lebron so this could be big morale boost for the team. I wasn't able to watch the game, but I got the Nuggets at handicapped -4.5. I thought that the Nuggets can still one win from the Lakers in home.

Anyway, just part of the game, the road for the Lakers is still very tough, it's now the Clippers next. Kawhi is already playing so this is going to be interesting match up against Lebron.
