Through three quarters

With 187 points through three quarters, both the Denver Nuggets and the Brooklyn Nets have kept the scorekeepers engaged. A victory is still possible for any club, but Denver leads 96-91.

The Nuggets have relied on center Nikola Jokic, who has 17 points, six assists, and five rebounds, as well as shooting guard Will Barton, who has 21 points, four assists, and eight rebounds. Cameron Thomas, a shooting guard, has been Brooklyn’s top goalscorer with 21 points.

This year, Brooklyn has failed 70% of the time when they were behind coming into the fourth quarter, so this one seems to be almost over.

What You Should Know?

Denver Nuggets have been on the losing end of a one-way battle with the Brooklyn Nets and are looking for their first win since Nov. 14 of this year. They’ll meet at 8 p.m. ET on Jan. 26 at Barclays Center after concluding off games yesterday. The Nuggets should be feeling good after a victory, while the Nets will be seeking to get back on track.

Denver didn’t have much breathing space in their match against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday, but they still won 110-105. The squad scored 69 points in the first half and coasted to victory. Nikola Jokic of Denver almost had a triple-double with 28 points, 21 rebounds, and nine assists.

Meanwhile, Brooklyn was defeated 106-96 by the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday. For the losing team, point guard James Harden put up a strong performance, recording a triple-double with 33 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists. This season, Beard has nine triple-doubles.

Denver is the favourite in this one, with a 4.5-point margin of victory projected. They have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five games, so buyers beware.

Brooklyn’s defeat dropped them to 29-18, while Denver’s victory increased their lead to 25-21. A Nets victory would put an end to both their bad luck and Denver’s good luck. We’ll see whether Brooklyn can complete that difficult assignment or if the Nuggets can maintain their current momentum.
