The Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets are set for Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. Both teams are unbeaten at home so far this postseason, and the Lakers must keep that trend going in order to avoid an 0-3 hole. Around three hours from tip-off, the updated injury reports for both sides look like this:

For the Lakers, both LeBron James and Anthony Davis remain probable, while Mo Bamba remains out. For the Nuggets, their injury report remains clean, as no additions have been made from their initial listing. Final statuses on James and Davis will come shortly before game time, but both players are expected to play, as their listings on the injury report are nothing to read into.

The Nuggets have an opportunity to take a commanding 3-0 lead on Saturday night, but it will take a collective effort to pick up a win in Los Angeles where the Lakers are unbeaten this postseason. The Lakers will come out playing with a level of desperation that the Nuggets must match. Both teams recognize the importance of this game, as the Lakers do not want to fall behind 0-3, and the Nuggets do not want to give them any life at all.

This should be a fun matchup between two teams who are not satisfied with simply making in to the Western Conference Finals.
