The Denver Nuggets will be at home against the New Orleans Pelicans in their next match in the NBA. The Nuggets enter this game with the fourth-best record in the Western Conference, whereas the Pelicans arrive with the second-worst. Read on for our prediction.

The Nuggets are back home after an inconsistent five-game road trip. Mike Malone’s men lost three times in the five games but ended the trip with back-to-back victories, winning against the Sixers and Hornets.

Against the Hornets, which was their most recent outing, the Nuggets secured a 107-104 victory. They have now won 30 of 49 games. Another victory will hand them a 2-1 lead in this four-game series with the Pels.

The Pelicans are on a five-match losing streak. This latest slump has seen them drop to a 12-37 record which is the third-worst record in the league.

Willie Green’s men are coming off a 118-116 loss to the Celtics to end a short two-game homestand. Injuries have ravaged the Pels this season and for huge patches have been without number of their top performers.

For this trip, six players are listed in the injury report. Dejounte Murray is out for the season and joins Herb Jones and Brandon Ingram in being ruled out. Zion Williasmon and Daniel Theis are questionable.
