Following a quick pit stop in Dallas, the Denver Nuggets are back in the Mile High City to wrap up the week with a back-to-back set against some Eastern Conference contenders.
Denver (9-5) saw its five-game winning streak snapped against the Mavericks on Monday, despite a dominant performance from Nikola Jokiu0107 (35 points, 16 rebounds, and six assists). The Nuggets were without several key rotation players, including Will Barton who has arguably been Denver’s second-best player this season.
Now the Nuggets are back home for two games, with the first coming against a Philadelphia 76ers team that has been plagued by injuries and absences to begin the season.
