Today’s matinee will feature two teams tied for second atop the Western Conference standings.
The New Orleans Pelicans and Denver Nuggets will tip-off at 2:30 p.m. and this will be a fascinating matchup, starting with two big men that could potentially each notch a triple-double.
Nikola Jokic is arriving with 79 career triple-doubles and two of them came against the Pelicans last season. His most recent one was an absolutely magnificent effort. On March 6, Jokic tallied 46 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists in Denver’s 138-130 victory over New Orleans.
