Two of the greatest NBA players in the game now and of all time meet up again on Saturday, when LeBron James’ Los Angeles Lakers take on Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets at 8:30 p.m. ET at Crypto.com Arena. James has a 15-14 overall record vs Jokic all-time, including the playoffs.
The defending NBA champion Nuggets, however, have won the last three games between the teams, including the first two meetings this season. Denver has won five consecutive games to push its record to 41-19, while the 33-28 Lakers are aiming for a third consecutive victory.

Lakers vs. Nuggets Preview & Prediction
Denver has a 24-5 home record and is looking to surge back into the top spot in the Western Conference. Four of the Nuggets’ five consecutive wins have been by 15-plus points, so I would not be averse to taking them to cover any spread for more than one unit.
The last time these teams met on Feb. 8, Denver was favored by three points and scored a 114-106 victory, and the Nuggets have won by eight-plus points in their three consecutive victories over the Lakers. Jokic recorded four consecutive triple-doubles in the first four games of the current five-game winning streak.
Jamal Murray suffered a sprained ankle in Thursday’s six-point win over Miami. He had 29 points and 11 assists in the Feb. 8 win over the Lakers.
Anthony Davis led Los Angeles with 32 points and nine rebounds in the last matchup with Denver, and James has averaged 23.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 6.0 assists vs the Nuggets this season. All of those aforementioned player stats are good to note when considering player props for Lakers-Nuggets.
