The Toronto Raptors will look for back-to-back wins on the season when they travel to Denver to take on the Nuggets at Ball Arena.
This will be the first game of a season-long five game road trip for Toronto.
The Raptors will look to get revenge after the Nuggets beat them in Toronto 127-125 in overtime.
The Raptors snapped a four-game losing streak with a 131-128 overtime win over the Sacramento Kings on Nov. 2. RJ Barrett has been delivering for the Raptors. He has scored 30+ points in three consecutive games for the first time in his career.
Meanwhile, Gradey Dick has been hitting another gear. He’s averaging 21.0 points over the first seven games of the season which leads all sophomore players. Dick has made a three-pointer in 16 straight games which is the longest Raptors active streak.
Jakob Poeltl has also been playing well. The Raptors big man has been a consistent force on the glass. He leads the league with 84 total rebounds. He will draw the tough assignment of guarding Nikola Jokic.
Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) is doubtful to play in Denver. Quickley has missed the Raptors’ last 6 games. Scottie Barnes (orbital), Kelly Olynyk (back) and Bruce Brown Jr. (knee) are all out.
The Nuggets will have one of their stars out for this game as Jamal Murray will miss this matchup due to concussion protocol. DaRon Holmes II (achilles) is out. Vlatko Cancar (ankle) is doubtful and Aaron Gordon (knee) is probable.
