Overall preview.

The Nuggets need this game badly. A loss tonight will have them heading to an angry San Antonio team who just got smacked by the LA Lakers.

Look to Nikola Jokic and company to start with energy to get the crowd rolling. Hopefully that will lead to better play as they try and put Memphis away early.

As a Nugget’s fan we all know, no game that is in Denver’s control is ever over until the final buzzer.

Denver needs to play hard for all 48 minutes and get back on the winning track as we enter a 4 game in 5 night stretch.
