LA Lakers vs Denver Nuggets Prediction - Combined starting 5 featuring LeBron James and Nikola Jokic

Small Forward - LeBron James

LA Lakers' LeBron James celebrates against the Memphis Grizzlies

The man who needs no introduction, LeBron James being a part of this lineup, was always going to be a given. The legendary former MVP, even at the age of 36, is regarded as the best player in the league and his unbelievable start to the season is still unmatched. LeBron has scored at least 15 points, claimed 5 boards, and provided 5 assists in each game he has played this season for the LA Lakers.

Power Forward - Anthony Davis

LeBron James' partner in crime and a key part of the Lakers' championship win last year, Anthony Davis has been exceptional this season as well. The LA Lakers forward is averaging 22.9 PPG this season and continues to help Frank Vogel's side on both ends of the floor with a team-high 8.9 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game.

Center - Nikola Jokic

Denver's Nikola Jokic is arguably the best big man in the NBA

Much like the previous two selections of LeBron and AD, Jokic's inclusion in this lineup was obvious. The center has been lethal all season and is leading the Nuggets roster in averages for scoring, rebounding, assisting, steals and blocks.

He is the perfect offensive big man and is capable of cutting open the most stingy of defenses.
