Starting Lineups: Nov. 23
What better way to close out your week than with Nick Young, the Los Angeles Lakers and one of their most winnable games - at home, against the sputtering Denver Nuggets?
No better way, obviously.
If you can't wait until the nightcap, there's plenty of other action on tap. The Clippers and Grizzlies always play each other tough in a battle of premier frontcourts, the Hornets try to get back on track on NBA TV against the Heat, and Steph Curry will probably shoot the lights out against the shorthanded Thunder.
