The Denver Nuggets (11-12) are in the midst of one of their toughest stretches of the season that started in the middle of November, and they match up tonight with the New Orleans Pelicans (7-19). With three games remaining in this seven-game road trip, Denver is looking to get back to .500 with a win in this game against a team that has been feisty against them over the last few years.
The Nuggets have been struggling over the last several weeks with injuries and unfortunate circumstances constantly getting in their way. They have yet to have their preferred starting five to see the floor together since April of last year, and they’ll be waiting until next year with Michael Porter Jr.
