Here comes trouble.
The Denver Nuggets again find themselves standing between the New Orleans Pelicans and the playoffs.
Too soon?
In the 2016/17 season the Pelicans held fast to the hope of a playoff berth trailing the Nuggets by three games with three left to play against each other, and after walking away with a victory in the first matchup (sans Boogie), dropped what could have been the most heartbreaking loss of the year, 134-131 behind two late turnovers from Jrue Holiday.
This year, the importance of this series is no different, only this time the Pels are going to try to get it out of the way before the holidays (with three matchups in the next month).
