Pacers vs. Lakers Prediction: Indiana Predicted to Win Saturday's NBA Game [2/8/2025]

The Los Angeles Lakers and Indiana Pacers are scheduled to meet in NBA action at Crypto.com Arena on Saturday, with tipoff at 4:00PM ET.

Based on the latest simulation results and today’s injury reports, Dimers' proven NBA model (see Dimers Pro for full access) predicts the Pacers as the most likely winner of today's game.

"Our team has used the latest data to run 10,000 simulations of Saturday's Indiana-LA Lakers game," said Damien Souness from Dimers.

"By incorporating recent updates and various other inputs, we estimate that the Pacers are more likely to win, while the Lakers have a lower chance of victory."

This prediction follows the latest NBA Injury Report, which suggests the Lakers lineup will feature players like Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura and Dorian Finney-Smith, while the Pacers will rely on Pascal Siakam, Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin.

The injury report also suggests that Luka Doncic will not be on the court for the Lakers tonight, with the star Slovenian still returning from injury.
