The Denver Nuggets bounced back nicely against the Clippers after having their win streak snapped by San Antonio.
The Nuggets had much of their core back and were able to take advantage of a depleted Clippers team. Yes, the Clippers were without their 2 best players, but Denver still showed signs of greatness. Nurkic had a good game which built some of his trade value up in this game. Behind yet another solid performance from Nikola Jokic, Denver’s star in the making, the Nuggets retained the 8 seed for at least another day.
Teams like the Trail Blazers and Kings are going to be coming for the Nuggets, so every game the Nuggets can get to get ahead of the pack will be very key.
