Denver Nuggets @ Toronto Raptors

Nuggets first round draft choice Jamal Murray grew up about 2 hours from Toronto in nearby Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.

We should expect that this game will mean something to him. At this point of the season he may still be finding his way to fit into the rotation, but expect him to want to prove his worth on this Halloween Night!

The Nuggets went 2-0 against the Raptors last season. Toronto made an impressive deep playoff run before falling to Cleveland in the Eastern Conference Championship. These two facts beg the question of exactly how far could Nuggets go if they played in the eastern conference?

Expect the Nuggets to play well against the team north of the border again this season. Hopefully Jamal Murray has a great homecoming that showcases his talents.

Win/Loss Rating: Advantage Nuggets (2-0-Even)
