2009 NBA Playoffs: LA Lakers Look to Advance to Finals vs. Denver Nuggets on Friday

The Los Angeles Lakers look to advance to the NBA Finals as they face the Denver Nuggets on Friday. The game will begin at 9pm ET on ESPN.

The Lakers, who have a 3-2 lead on the Nuggets, will have to play a tough game on the road in Denver's Pepsi Center to accomplish this feat.

In the Game 3, their first game on the road in this series, the Lakers were victorious, 107-93, but lost Game 4, 120-101, the most lopsided win of the series for either team.

Kobe Bryant is leading the Lakers with 33.8 points per game for this series. He is also averaging 5.8 rebounds and 5.0 assists. However, the Lakers have rotated complimentary players with Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, Trevor Ariza and Derek Fisher.

The Nuggets are led by Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups, the team's most effective offensive threats. Anthony leads the Nuggets with 28.3 points per game, but has been struggling offensively the last two games, with a total of just 36 points over that span. J.R. Smith has been effective off of the bench, while Chris Andersen, Kenyon Martin and Nene' have been very good in the post on both offense and defense.
