Friday offers up the second and final meeting between the Denver Nuggets and Brooklyn Nets. The teams played on December 14th with the Nuggets taking that first match 124-101.
Both teams last played on Wednesday with the Nuggets defeating the Raptors 113-104 while the Nets got pounded 102-121 by the Knicks.
Season Series
Last season the teams split their two meetings while the Nuggets hold the all-time record between the clubs with 53 victories in 98 matches.
Denver Nuggets
Only two clubs have played more road games (Knicks, Wizards) than the Nuggets who have played 16 matches away from Ball Arena. They’ll play this match and travel to Charlotte before heading home for a four-game home stand and play eight of the next 10 in Denver.
While they feast at home, the win in Toronto got them back to .500 on the road.
Nikola Jokic continues to amaze with how he makes the most difficult task look easy, frequently altering momentum when the Nuggets need a shift. That was the case with the Raptors who made several comebacks but the Joker shut them down every time.
Nuggets Stats
Denver ranks seventh on offense (117.9) and 10th defensively (112.6) with a net differential of plus +5.3, ranking sixth overall.
Despite their record, the Nuggets aren’t as solid against the spread with a 13-15-1 record through 29 contests.
Nuggets Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Aaron Gordon, PF (probable— heel)
- Vlatko Cancar, SF (OUT indefinitely— knee)
Brooklyn Nets
In contrast to their opponent, the Nets have played a more balanced home/road schedule. Brooklyn was on a roll winning 12 of 19 during a home-heavy schedule, but have regressed losing five of their last six contests including going 1-4 on their recent West Coast road trip.
Injuries have played a part in the dip in production as sharpshooter Cam Thomas missed nine matches while Ben Simmons has appeared in just six of the Nets’ 27 contests this season.
Nets Stats
Heading into the weekend the Nets rank 11th offensively (116.8), and 21st defensively (115.7) with a net differential of plus +1.0 which ranks tied for 15th overall.
While their opponent possesses a better overall record the Nets have performed better against the spread with a 17-9-1 record through 27 contests.
Nets Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Lonnie Walker IV, SG (OUT indefinitely —hamstring)
- Dennis Snith Jr., PG (questionable —back)
- Ben Simmons, PG (OUT indefinitely —hip)

Free Denver Nuggets vs. Brooklyn Nets NBA Prediction:
Watching the reigning champs, it’s clear they are working through integrating the youngsters who have delivered more nights than not.
Yet, the big takeaway from every match that both Jokic and Jamal Murray play is that their pick-and-roll set is virtually unstoppable.
Brooklyn loves to get up and down the court and can score with the elite, but their sub-par defense will be the issue. Plus they don’t have anyone (sorry Nic Claxton) who can guard Jokic or stop him on the glass.
