Lamar Odom said he’ll be wearing some extra padding on his bruised lower back in tonight’s Game 4 vs. the Nuggets. He was not wearing anything substantial on it in Game 3 and paid the price on several occasions.

“I’ve you think about posting up or boxing out, I don’t think anybody is purposely trying to elbow me or hit me in the back, but just in case they do, I go a little football pad (back there),” Odom said.

Odom has been sore and bruised since injuring his back in a hard fall in Game 4 of the Houston series.
