Denver at New Orleans

Denver has more than its fair share of injuries to significant players, and the latest is Nikola Jokic (knee). The Nuggets are a hard team to play on right now, and they are just 6-7 over their last 13 games, getting outscored by 3.2 points per game during that span. Streaky New Orleans is certainly not the type of team that will bring out the Nuggets' "A" game. The Pelicans won five straight games, then lost nine straight before splitting their last two. I think Denver is a no-show here. Back New Orleans.
