The Denver Nuggets (10-7) are in the midst of a downward slump over the last week. Entering last week Wednesday, they were 9-4, and they’ve gone just 1-3 in their last four games with the most recent loss coming at home last night to the Detroit Pistons, who were in the midst of a seven-game losing streak. Tonight, they get a chance to bounce back against the Oklahoma City Thunder (7-10).
While this losing skid isn’t great, it requires a grain of salt to go with it. Nikola Jokic, missed three of those four games, and he was announced as active less than two hours before last night’s game.
