In what has become a bit of a rivalry over recent years, the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Denver Nuggets on Saturday in a potential playoff preview matchup at Ball Arena.
The Lakers are coming off a 110-102 win over the Portland Trail Blazers, a much-needed victory after the team had dropped back-to-back outings to 2024-25 bottom-feeders, the Utah Jazz and Charlotte Hornets.
Four-time league MVP LeBron James continues to win his battle against Father Time, as the NBA's all-time leading scorer scored 40 points and secured eight rebounds in the win over Portland. How will James follow that up against a more able foe in Denver on Saturday, and playing in altitude, no less? Tune in to find out.

The Lakers, as of Friday morning, are fifth in the West with a 33-21 record. And after making the splash trade for Luka Doncic, the team will have huge expectations for the rest of the campaign. On the road against Denver will be a fantastic first real test for the newly minted Doncic-James duo.
