Denver Nuggets
Denver has already won four consecutive matches. Mike Malone’s team confidently leads the Western Conference standings and is unlikely to drop below the top positions. There are still seven games left before the start of the playoffs. The participation of Nikola Jokic, the team’s leading scorer (24.9 points per game), rebounder (11.9), and assist maker (9.9), is in question for the upcoming game.
New Orleans Pelicans
New Orleans has won five out of their last six matches, losing only to “Golden State” on March 29th (109-120) while playing away. Thanks to a successful series, the “Pelicans” (ninth place) have secured their spot in the play-in zone in the Western Conference standings. The team from Louisiana approaches the upcoming match without any injuries. The team’s best scorer (20.8 points per game) and assist maker (5.9), CJ McCollum, is healthy and ready for the battle.
