Game Preview
The Denver Nuggets (30-14) will visit Gainbridge Fieldhouse on January 23 to play the Indiana Pacers (24-19).
The Denver Nuggets play the Pacers in their next upcoming game in an attempt to extend their winning streak to 3 games on this road trip. After defeating the Wizards 113-104 in Washington in their last game, the Nuggets increased their record to 30-14 for the year. In the win, Nikola Jokic recorded 42 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 assists, capping off another incredible journey. He made 15 of his 20 field goals, nailed 12 of his 14 free throw attempts, and blocked 3 shots. Even with Jamal Murray’s 19 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds, the 2-time MVP was the game’s star. With a two-game winning run that included a victory against the Celtics in Boston to snap a 20-game home winning streak, the Nuggets enter Indianapolis on a high note. Due to a knee injury, Julian Strawther is unable to play this game. Both Michael Porter Jr. (illness) and Aaron Gordon (right shoulder strain) are listed as likely, which indicates that they both have a strong chance of participating.
In the meantime, Indiana suffered a 117-110 defeat at the hands of the Phoenix Suns in their last game. The Pacers’ bench scored 55 points in the game, with Buddy Hield leading the way with 18 points. But Tyrese Haliburton‘s absence was noticed by the NBA’s top scoring offense. Indiana ended 15 points under its scoring norm while shooting 43.6% from the field. In terms of team field goal percentage (50.5%) and points per game (125.0), the Pacers are the best in the NBA this year. In 6 of the 9 matches this season that Haliburton has missed, they have scored 112 points or less. Haliburton did make a comeback versus Portland, but he was not present for the subsequent game versus Phoenix.
