The Atlanta Hawks host the Denver Nuggets in what appears to be a very interesting matchup. The Nuggets have a longer injury list than the Hawks but only one starter, Paul Millsap is on it. They have a shortened rotation and this could hurt the team which is playing the last of a four-game road trip.
The Nuggets lost some really good defensive talent over the offseason. Jerami Grant took his talents to Detroit and has turned into their prime offensive player while also being their lockdown defender on the wing.
