The Lakers also listed Dorian Finney-Smith (left ankle) and Gabe Vincent (left knee) as doubtful.

LeBron James (left groin) remains out and isn't with the Lakers, who have lost three straight games.

Los Angeles (40-24) resides in fourth place in the Western Conference, one game behind the Nuggets (42-24) and Memphis Grizzlies.

Three-time MVP Nikola Jokic of the Nuggets is probable while dealing with elbow and ankle ailments.
