The Denver Nuggets are one of the surprise teams this season. They came to this game after 2 consecutive losses against the Philadelphia 76ers (126-119) and Milwaukee Bucks (107-99). The last win for the Nuggets was against the New Orleans Pelicans by 99-98 last January 24th in a very disputed game. Nikola Jokic´s performances are still essential for the team, Jokic is the scoring, rebounder, and assist leader of the team (21.5 ppg, 10.9 rpg, 9.9 apg). But it’s not all good news for the Denver team because Jamal Murray, Collin Gillespie, and Jack White are in doubt to play this game due to injuries. The Denver Nuggets ranked in the 1st place in the Western Conference with a 34-16 record and are the best home team in the conference with a 22-4 record.
The last two games between both teams this season have one victory for each team but taking into account that Denves has been the best home team the oddsmakers clearly favored Denver´s team.
