For the first time in a little over a month, the Denver Nuggets (22-11) are in action for a back-to-back contest with their second straight game against the Sacramento Kings (17-15) on the docket in front of them. The Nuggets knocked off the Kings last night 113-106 behind some strong shooting from Michael Porter Jr., who had 30 points on 12-of-20 from the floor and 5-of-9 from 3-point range.
The Nuggets are 8-2 over their last 10 games and riding a five-game winning streak entering tonight. This is arguably their toughest stretch of games all season, and their results at the end of it will go a long way towards determining where they slot into the league’s hierarchy.
