The Denver Nuggets (39-18) are looking to avenge their previous loss to the Detroit Pistons (19-40). Considering Detroit’s two leading scorers from that game, Andre Drummond and Reggie Jackson, are now on other teams, that task should be easier than it was the first time around. Denver’s also at home for this one rather than being on the road.
Meanwhile, the Pistons are in the midst of a six-game losing streak, which includes losses to the New York Knicks and Charlotte Hornets. Detroit is now missing six of their top seven per game scorers from last season.
