The Denver Nuggets (26-12) will be fighting to regain the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference when the Los Angeles Clippers visit Pepsi Center Sunday.
Denver is coming off a disappointing 111-103 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, its sixth loss to a team with less than 15 wins on the season. The defeat exposed some areas where the Nuggets will need to improve if they want to be contenders this season, including defense and bench production. Fortunately, the team gets a chance to right the ship against Los Angeles less than 24 hours after Saturday’s disappointing result.
