The Nuggets have pulled away from the reigning Lakers champion and now set themselves the task of imposing the struggle on the leaders of the West. The team scored a good move and you can see how players are doing their best on the floor. Denver won an easy victory in the last meeting, as they defeated Houston at home (129-116). Hosts controlled the course of the game and got the impression that they acted half-heartedly. Such fights are relaxing, so the head coach needs not to miss this moment and set guys up for the confrontation with Memphis. The Nuggets will play the role of a clear favorite and it’s hard to argue with that, because Michael Malone has put together an excellent team.
The Cowboys have made a good move considering the last three fights. Thanks to good play and misses from opponents, the club climbed to sixth place in the Western Conference. Dallas secured three wins in a row, as they left no chances for Detroit (127-117) and beat the Lakers twice. Luka Doncic had a good period of the season and managed to get in good shape. Ricky Carlisle’s charges will try to keep the bar high, however, the next meeting will be held away Mavericks will be the favorites and, given the whole situation, it’s hard to argue with that. There are no particular problems with the line-up, so the team will try to continue the winning streak.
