Fresh off of a 3-1 East coast road trip, the Denver Nuggets are back home for a quick pit stop before hitting the road once more later this week. While a back-to-back at Houston and Oklahoma City awaits, first Denver will play host to Blake Griffin and the Detroit Pistons.
The Nuggets are firmly a top playoff seed in the West, but at 37-36 the Pistons are clinging on to a lower spot in the Eastern Conference. Detroit got the best of the Nuggets in their prior matchup in February, though the Nuggets were without Paul Millsap, Gary Harris and Jamal Murray.
