The last time these two teams faced off, the Denver Nuggets succumbed to an overtime loss. Giannis Antetokounmpo was his usual self tallying 22 points, nine rebounds and eight assists giving the Greek Freak a near triple double.
However, what really killed the Nuggets’ defense was the big man, Brook Lopez. Lopez did his best Steph Curry impersonation by raining eight three point shots which resulted in him coming away with 28 points.
With that in mind, the match up to watch in this game will be Nikola Jokic against Brook Lopez.
