Kuzma finds Lonzo with the nifty touch pass
Usually it's Lonzo Ball making the fancy feeds, but this time he was on the receiving end of one from Kyle Kuzma. The second-year forward jumped up to grab an offensive rebound, but instead just slapped the ball backwards to a wide open Lonzo, who slammed it home.

LeBron leads Lakers against Nuggets
The highlight of Tuesday night's schedule is the last game of the night, in which LeBron James will lead the Lakers against Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets. The Lakers have won seven of their last nine games -- strangely both losses came to the Magic -- to turn things around, while the Nuggets have won three games in a row to also enter this contest feeling good about themselves.
