After winning eight games in a row, the Nuggets lost their most recent game against the Celtics. The Nuggets had a big lead against Boston but uncharacteristically had a pretty sloppy defensive display in the second half, allowing Celtics to have a 39-2 run at one point who ultimately blew out Denver 105-87.

The Nuggets have some injury concerns. Guard Shaquille Harrison is out to the medical protocols. Starting point guard, Jamal Murray is questionable as he recovers from a knee injury.

The Nuggets have the perfect opportunity to get back to winning ways as they face an injury-riddled Warriors side.
