The Denver Nuggets vs. LA Lakers Game 4 matchup will take place on April 27 at the Crypto.com Arena. Entering this matchup, the Nuggets own a commanding 3-0 lead over the home-court team and another win will complete a playoff sweep and advance to the next round to face the winner between the Phoenix Suns and Minnesota Timberwolves.
Even with the home-court advantage, the Lakers were not able to score a win over the Nuggets in Game 3, making it their 11th consecutive loss against Denver.
History is not on the side of the Lakers, as there is only one team that completed a reverse sweep coming from a 0-3 hole in NBA history and that was the 2017 Cleveland Cavaliers, led by LeBron James, against the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals.
Here are the predicted lineups and rotations of the upcoming Game 4 between the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets:
Denver Nuggets vs LA Lakers Injuries
Denver Nuggets injuries for April 27
The starters are intact and have no injuries, according to the Nuggets injury report. A significant injury to watch for Denver is with backup point guard Reggie Jackson, who helps keep the team's pace while the starters are resting.
LA Lakers injuries for April 27
As usual, LeBron James and/or Anthony Davis are either 'questionable' or 'probable' but most likely they will be playing. Confirmed to be out are Christian Wood, Cam Reddish, Jarred Vanderbilt and Jalen Hood-Schifino, which hurts the Lakers' depth.

LA Lakers starting lineup and depth chart for April 27
It is win or go home for the Lakers so we are expecting LeBron James and Anthony Davis to play and try to avoid a sweep. Rui Hachimura has been the starter for the Lakers in this series.
Off the bench, seeing action in Game 3 were Spencer Dinwiddie, Gabe Vincent and Taurean Prince. The Lakers should use the same short 8-man rotation.
