The Nuggets, fresh off a miracle win over the Grizzlies on Monday, travel down to the Crescent City to take on the Pelicans sans Anthony Davis.
The Pelicans franchise player has formally requested a trade, with either the Knicks or Lakers as his preferred destination, a move that sent shockwaves through the NBA and cost the former Kentucky Wildcat a cool $50,000.
But he’s also out with an injury, so the Nuggets don’t have anything to fear in regards to one of the top players in the league.
