The Denver Nuggets are heading right back into action after last night’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. They are continuing their four-game road trip with a stop in Michigan to take on the Detroit Pistons.
Friday’s game will be the second and final meeting of the regular season between the two teams. Denver was able to secure the 134-121 win in their last meeting behind another stellar performance of Nikola Jokic. The reigning MVP put up 37 points, 9 rebounds, and 9 assists on 65/80/79 shooting splits.
The Pistons are currently one of the league’s hottest teams, having won their last eight games. The Nuggets will need to focus on Friday’s game to snap the Piston’s streak and get back on track.
