The Denver Nuggets suffered a loss after winning nine straight when the Oklahoma City Thunder beat them at home on Sunday night. They still live at the top of the Western conference, but they are going to need to bounce back rather quickly with the recent success of teams like the Memphis Grizzlies threatening their top seed.
They are battling the New Orleans Pelicans tonight and the Pelicans are a team that has historically given the Nuggets many issues. Tack on the fact that the Nuggets’ injury report still includes Nikola Jokic as questionable, and there’s a way that this game goes fairly wrong.
