The Nuggets are coming off of a huge win against the Rockets last night and are riding a ton of momentum. They have been playing sloppy lately, and are without Ty Lawson but were able to pull out the win. The Rockets however were without Dwight Howard and that was a major factor. A win is a win for Denver and the Nuggets will take what they can get at this point in the season. They will now take on the Golden State Warriors and a win is not out of the question.
The Nuggets will need Randy Foye to play well again to win this game. Foye scored 30 points last night and he has the hot hand. The Nuggs will need him to keep shooting since they will be taking on the splash brothers. Another player that will need to step up is Kenneth Faried. Faried has been a monster in the second half and he is carrying tremendous value into next season for the Nuggets.
It is no surprise who the Nuggs are going to need to stop tonight. The splash brothers are going to be a problem all night. They can light up the scoreboard in a hurry and the Nuggets will need to contain at least one of them. Also, the Nuggets will need to do a good job of containing David Lee. He is a beast on the boards and they will need to get a body on him.
The Nuggets are playing well right now and are coming off of a huge win. Look for them to carry the momentum into tonights game and come out with another win. The Nuggs have nothing to lose and that is a great attitude to play with. I’m predicting a Nuggets win by a score of 127-122. Be sure to check in for game updates.
