Denver Nuggets Team News

At the very start of the season, the Nuggets looked fantastic, and along with the Celtics and 76ers, they are definitely the team that showed the most. They are 6-1, and their only loss and bad night was against the Timberwolves. They showed their quality and team play in the last two matches when they very easily defeated the Mavs and then the Bulls in back-to-back matches. Against the Bulls, that victory came despite Jamal Murray hamstring injury. Due to this injury, Murray will not even be in the lineup for the match against the Pelicans. His role against the Bulls was taken over by Porter Jr, who scored 27 points and set his own season high.

However, the alpha and omega of the team is Nikola Jokic, who continues to dominate. He has recorded a double-double in every game this season with 20 points and 10 rebounds and looks totally unstoppable. The Pelicans could have big problems guarding Jokic because Valanciunas is in bad form and cannot match him physically. In addition, the Nuggets look much more balanced and solid on both ends of the court than the Pelicans.

New Orleans Pelicans Team News

The Pelicans entered the season very well and are 4-2. What is very important for the Pelicans is the form of Zion Williamson, who constantly plays at the start of the season, and has no major problems with injuries and excess weight. They enter this match after a home defeat against the Hawks, but what worries Pelicans fans much more is the information that one of the Pelicans’ best players, CJ McCollum, is likely to be out for a long period of time due to health problems. It will be a big problem to the Pelicans’ game because they don’t have a player who can replace and compensate for CJ’s absence. In addition to McCollum, Jose Alvarado, who is the driving force in the defense, has not been in the lineup for a long time. The Pelicans have big problems with creation and depend a lot on the game 1 on 1. Now the young Hawkins and Dyson will have a much bigger role. Hawkins is more focused on attacking the basket than creating, while Dyson is a creator and an excellent defender.

Much better performances are expected from Brandon Ingram, who has to take responsibility and attack the basket much more.

The Pelicans are the team that leads the league with the best three-point line defense. However, in the match against the Hawks, they also failed in that segment of the game and allowed the guests to score 14 shots from a distance.
