-Lakers defeat Nuggets in OT on ABC: This was an epic game between some Western Conference foes. Austin Reaves hit a game-tying shot to send the game into overtime, and Luka Dončić parlayed that into a game-winning shot in overtime. Dončić and Nikola Jokić recorded triple-doubles.

John Hollinger thinks the Nuggets could make a change at the first sign of trouble in the playoffs, or sooner.

It’s going to be a wild final month of the regular season for the Nuggets, Lakers, Rockets, Timberwolves and their fans. Heading into Saturday’s NBA slate, half a game separated Houston in third place and Minnesota in sixth — with the Lakers and Nuggets playing for fourth place.
