Paul George is likely to have the best game of his season against this Denver squad tomorrow.

Paul George is one of the most feared superstar small forwards in the league. With Denver set to square off against Indiana tomorrow in London, it is sadly inevitable for George to have a drastic impact against the Nuggets.

The Nuggets have had a putrid defense this season to say the least. On top of that, they do not do well at all containing star players.

Wilson Chandler and Danilo Gallinari are nice options at the 3 spot, but are they really going to be able to slow down a talent like Paul George? Not to mention the Pacers, like the Nuggets, have had plenty of rest and time to prepare for the game.

Many Nuggets fans would love to see PG13 in a powder blue jersey and tomorrow’s game will most likely prove why that is the case. The Pacers number 1 option is averaging 22.5 points per game on 45% shooting for the season.

Let’s also not overlook the near 2 steals per game he is averaging. There is a good chance that these numbers could be inflated beyond his averages in tomorrow’s game unless Coach Malone shores up Denver’s defense.

The Nuggets will also have Monte Ellis to worry about, however, Paul George will still have the capacity to put his fingerprints all over this overseas game. George poses more of a threat considering Gary Harris will be guarding Ellis if he decides to play.

If we see the same effort on defense that we have seen all year long, then expect George to put up close to, if not a triple-double against the Denver Nuggets.
