Nuggets vs Nets News and Preview | NBA Picks

The Brooklyn Nets host the Denver Nuggets in the first of a two game season series between these two teams.  Last season, Brooklyn swept the 2 game season series.

Brooklyn will be hoping to have All-Star Kevin Durant back from injury. Durant has been absent recently with a knee injury and missed last nights home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Durant leads the team in points per game this year with an average of over 29.

The Nets lost by 10 last night against LA, 106-96. James Harden led the team with a triple double (33/12/11) however it wasn’t enough. Harden nearly outscored the remaining 4 Brooklyn starters who combined for only 36 points in total. Brooklyn will need a bigger return from their starting five if they are to go on to win this one.

In comparison, Denver came away from Detroit with a 110-105 victor over the Pistons. Reigning MVP Nikola Jokic had a team high 28 points and an astounding game high 21 rebounds. The Joker was only 1 assist off of his own triple double. Alarmingly for the Nuggets, their bench only mustered 20 points in the victory.

After last nights results, The Nets were leapfrogged by the Chicago Bulls and now sit third in the East. The Nuggets are currently in 6th position, 2 games clear of Minnesota in 7th.

Nuggets vs Nets Prediction | NBA Picks

This should be an interesting battle tonight between two good teams. Brooklyn will be wanting to get back to winning ways whereas Denver will be looking to finish their brief two game Eastern road trip with another win.

Brooklyn are already without star Point Guard Kyrie Irving for home games and KD leaves a massive hole to fill. Quite frankly he would on any team. There is only so much one man can do, and in a second game in as many nights, it’ll be be tough for James Harden to continue to carry this team – especially if the starters perform like they did last night.

Denver will be looking for another strong performance from their star man, Nikola Jokic who is averaging 26.2 points, 13.9 rebounds and 7.6 assists so far this season. Brooklyn is no easy place to play as the road team however I think the Nuggets mights hand the Nets their second home defeat in as many nights.

If you follow The ESPN Matchup Predictor you will see it gives Denver a 59.3% chance of leaving Brooklyn with an all important win.
