The NBA is back in action, and the Denver Nuggets (41-18) are making their return to play tonight as they’re heading east for a matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers (38-23). This will be the second of the two-game season series between these two teams, and Denver will be looking for the sweep after coming away with a victory at home back in early January.
Heading into the break, the Nuggets were carrying a three-game winning streak, and they had won seven of their last 10 games. Denver has been nursing some injuries over the past couple of weeks with Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon each missing the final few games before the All-Star Break, although Murray is expected to return to play tonight while Gordon continues to rehab his injured rib.
