The Denver Nuggets will face the Los Angeles Lakers in NBA action at Ball Arena on Saturday, starting at 8:30PM ET.

Based on the latest simulation results and today’s injury news, Dimers' advanced NBA model (see Dimers Pro for full access) projects the Nuggets as the most likely winner of today's game.

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

"By incorporating recent updates and various other inputs, we estimate that the Nuggets 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 Nuggets lineup will feature stars like Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Michael Porter, while the Lakers will be led by LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.
