Home sweet home. The familiar confines of Pepsi Center will be a welcomed sight for the Denver Nuggets, who begin their five-game homestand following their 1-3 road trip on the east coast.
Their opponent to begin the homestand? The Portland Trail Blazers, another familiar sight for the Nuggets. After facing off 11 times in the 2018-19 season, Thursday’s matchup will be the fourth time the two teams have played this season, including two preseason contests.
For Denver (14-8), Thursday’s game presents an opportunity to right the ship and get back to winning ways. With the offense continuing to struggle, the Nuggets have fallen into a 1-5 stretch over the last two weeks, with the lone win coming against a New York Knicks team with the worst record in the league.
