Nuggets’ Snapshot
Home record: 22-6
Vs. East: 16-8
Last game: 2/23 (Sat) L 109-115 @ Bucks
Last 10: 6-4
The Nuggets are currently tied with Golden State for the 8th and final playoff spot in the ultra-competitive Western Conference, where as if the were in the East they’d be in 4th. The Nuggets are currently on a two game slide losing after a couple of frustrating games, the first in Chicago and then in Milwaukee. So, you have to assume they’re happy to be back at the Pepsi Center. The Pistons will be looking to hand the Nuggets their season high 3rd loss in a row.
The Pistons have averaged 121 points in their last two wins.
Detroit swept the season series with Denver last year.

Denver suck. They’re no where near being title contenders. I’d say the only team that is “almost” title contender worth would be the Utah Jazz. Portland are too young, Denver don’t play defense and shoot a zillion threes.

I meant to say in the Northwest Division that Utah are the only title contenders.

I’m still in shock that they were Stephen A. Smith’s preseason pick to come out of the West.
