After a shock loss at Portland, the Nuggets have had to stew for a few days before getting a chance to rinse that taste from their mouths. The Pels provide a perfect opportunity for quick redemption, and remember how Denver blew out the Hawks 141-11 after their previous humbling loss (at Washington). The Pelicans dropped another last night to the Knicks, losing for a sixth straight and 15th time in 16 games. The last three losses have been by double digits; still no Brandon Ingram or Zion Williamson. Little chance the Nuggets overlook 'Nawlins, either, after losing in their last visit to Smoothie King on November 15, when Ingram (scored 29) was available... and Nikola Jokic (who is good to go tonight) wasn't.
