The Denver Nuggets are back in action tonight as they host a New Orleans Pelicans team jockeying for playoff position with hopes of not only securing a spot in the postseason, but avoiding the play-in game entirely. New Orleans has been playing pretty solid basketball as of late and the same can be said for Denver as the Nuggets are looking to win their fifth straight game.
Denver is 2-1 against New Orleans so far this season and has won the last two matchups. The Nuggets have seven more games on their schedule — including tonight — and will head to Phoenix tomorrow night to face the Suns on the second night of a back-to-back.
