Sophomore big man Nikola Jokic has showed no sign of slowing down for the Denver Nuggets . Fresh off a career - high 30 points against Orlando , Jokic scored 29 to go with 15 rebounds and three blocks on Tuesday in Los Angeles . Denver 's offense was in top form on Tuesday , shooting a whopping 57 percent from the field and dishing out 29 assists . Eight of the assists came from versatile wing Will Barton , who stepped into the starting lineup in place of an injured Gary Harris . Barton added 26 points while shooting a perfect 5 - of - 5 on three - point attempts . For the Lakers , it was a big night for the bench . Four bench players scored in double digits , including 24 points from sixth man Lou Williams . Guard Jordan Clarkson added 19 points despite being questionable to play in the game due to an ankle injury . However , the starting five struggled . Forward Julius Randle shot only 2 - of - 8 and committed five turnovers , while point guard D'Angelo Russell had only 5 points and three assists while shooting 2 - of - 9 . The Denver Nuggets took down the host Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday , 127 - 121 . The Nuggets ( 17 - 23 ) have now won three straight games . One of the key components of Denver 's win streak has been the play of sophomore big man Nikola Jokic . Jokic came off a career - high 30 points against the Magic for 29 on Tuesday , also recording 15 rebounds and three blocks . Seven of Jokic 's rebounds came on the offensive end , as the young center made a major impact for the Nuggets ' offense . Although starting shooting guard Gary Harris ( ankle ) missed the tilt in Los Angeles , Denver seemingly had no trouble making up for his missing offensive output . Versatile wing Will Barton slid into the starting lineup in Harris 's place and contributed 26 points to go with eight assists . Barton was just one piece of a well - oiled Denver offense , as the team dished out 29 assists and shot over 56 percent on the night . The Lakers ( 15 - 31 ) very nearly came back from a double - digit deficit in the fourth quarter . Despite trailing by just two with under a minute to play , Los Angeles was unable to come away with a much - needed home win . One of Los Angeles 's main issues on Tuesday was one that has plagued the team throughout the season - disappointing play from the starting five . Four Lakers came off the bench for double digit points , including 24 for former Sixth Man of the Year Lou Williams and 19 for guard Jordan Clarkson , who was listed as questionable with an ankle injury prior to the game . Nevertheless , struggles from the starters ended up burying the Lakers . Big man Julius Randle shot just 2 - of - 8 for seven points and had five turnovers , while point guard D'Angelo Russell had only five points and three assists . The Nuggets will play in San Antonio on Thursday , while the Lakers will host the Pacers on Friday .
