DENVER -- The Denver Nuggets gained confidence by going 5-1 on their recent homestand. Their positive mood was dealt a blow with a humbling loss at Portland on Monday night.
Three days off and a possible return of guard Gary Harris might help the Nuggets heading into Friday's home game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Harris, who missed two games with right shoulder soreness, is expected back in the starting lineup. His return allows guard Will Barton to return to the bench and give that unit some needed scoring punch.
