The Nuggets (21-8) currently have the second-best record in the Western Conference behind the Los Angeles Lakers (24-6). “We have been very fortunate to have Coach Malone lead our resurgence. We’ll see how it progresses, and we’ll see if I play.”–The Los Angeles Lakers should have their two stars in the lineup Wednesday when they face the “visiting” Los Angeles Clippers in a marquee game. James missed a 128-104 loss to the visiting Denver Nuggets on Sunday because of a muscle strain near his rib cage.
