The Los Angeles Lakers had a good 2022-2023 season, finishing seventh in the Eastern Conference with 43 wins and 39 losses. This season they had a big change in the roster and they are looking for this time to be at the top of the tournament, so they will have to win as many games as possible to be the champions. Their last game was on October 19, 2023 and resulted in a 123-100 loss against Phoenix Suns at Acrisure Arena and thus lost their last preseason game.
The Denver Nuggets in the 2022-2023 NBA tournament finished first in the Western Conference with 53 wins and 29 losses.

Their last game was on 19 October 2023 and resulted in a 103-90 victory against the LA Clippers at Crypto.com Arena and thus won their last warm-up game.
The Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets have met on several occasions. In the last 5 meetings, the Denver Nuggets have won 5 in a row.
The last time these two teams met was on May 22, 2023 at Crypto.com Arena, in that game the Denver Nuggets won 113-111. That game was a very even matchup in points and rebounds that we hope will happen again today.
