The Denver Nuggets are once again taking on the Portland Trail Blazers. The two team met this past Sunday, where the Nuggets lost by a score of 116-100. The team will be getting back Darrell Arthur, and they will be hoping for better results. The Nuggets core players have been playing great, but the team has been having issues meshing together.
The Nuggets team is pretty much the same as last year except with Arron Afflalo entering as the starting shooting-guard. The team is just not playing as one right now. Players have been showing their frustrations, and but it is only a matter of time before the team can really put things together.
They will be taking on the Blazers again, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them bounce back in a big way. The Blazers starters were a major issue for the Nuggets last time around, but an area the Nuggets can beat them in is bench play. The Blazers bench has struggled and if the Nuggets bench can play well, the Nuggets can easily steal a game.
There are a few keys for the Nuggets to win tomorrow night, and the first is being a team. They have all been playing well, but they need to build up their chemistry. If the Nuggets can click together, they could easily string some wins together. The next key is bench play. The Nuggets bench has to play well for them to beat the Blazers. My prediction for the game is a Nuggets win by a score of 107-101. Follow us twitter for updates @Nugg_Love!
