Game Preview
On December 20, the Denver Nuggets (18-10) take on the Toronto Raptors (11-15) at Scotiabank Arena.
The Denver Nuggets are in excellent form, having won 4 of their previous 5 games overall. They will be motivated to continue their winning ways following their decisive 130-104 victory against the Mavericks in their most recent game. Aaron Gordon contributed 21 points and 5 assists on 7 of 9 shots, while Jamal Murray led the club with 22 points on 8 of 14 shooting. The Nuggets held the Mavericks to only 20 points in the 1st quarter to take the early lead. They never let up, outscoring the Mavericks all the way to the finish. As a team, they scored 56% from the field and 14 of 26 from 3-point range. After spraining both of his ankles, Jamal Murray was taken off the Nuggets’ injury list. He is anticipated to start versus the Raptors. Although Aaron Gordon is currently recovering from a right heel issue, he is still probable to start.
The Toronto Raptors, on the other hand, have been struggling lately, having dropped 5 of their previous 7 games overall. However, they will be keen to get back on track after defeating the Hornets 114-99 in their last game. With 27 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists, Pascal Siakam paced the squad. Gary Trent Jr. and Scottie Barnes both scored 22 points. The Raptors appeared to be in trouble after scoring just 19 points in the 1st quarter, but they managed to stay within striking distance and made their move in a 35–18 4th quarter to secure the much-needed victory at home. Center Jakob Poeltl did not play a major role, and he will undoubtedly be needed in this game against Jokic. As a team, they hit 51% from the field and 8 of 29 from the 3-point line.
