The defense for the Nuggets was definitely pushed hard in the last game against the Rockets, but that does not change the fact that the Nuggets are still one of the best teams in the NBA on defense. The offense for the Nuggets will have a better game here as well and that will definitely help the Nuggets out quite a bit as the Pelicans are not that great defensively and that can lead to the Nuggets easily winning the game. Final Score, Denver Nuggets win 109-104.
