The Denver Nuggets, after a bad road trip on the East coast, have bounced back in the past couple of weeks. Tonight, they’ll be looking to extend their winning streak to eight games by taking on the New Orleans Pelicans at home. Earlier in the year, the Pelicans blew the Nuggets out on the road with their high rate of play combined with a night of hot shooting from the floor.
While the Pelicans have won two of their last three games, they had lost 13 straight games prior to that. Denver, meanwhile, after losing five of six games, they’ve ripped off seven in a row, including dominant victories over the Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Lakers.
