The Denver Nuggets got some good news before the ball was even tipped as Michael Porter Jr. returned to action after missing the last 13 games due to a heel injury. With the help of Porter, the Nuggets won their third consecutive game courtesy of a 120-107 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.
With the win, the Nuggets now post a record of 20-11, which is still good for first place in the Western Conference. The Nuggets go into their Christmas game on Sunday night against the Phoenix Suns as the best team in the West and don’t have any intentions of slowing down.
