The Denver Nuggets welcome the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Ball Arena on Sunday afternoon. The Nuggets are looking to bounce back and keep pace with the Minnesota Timberwolves and OKC Thunder for the best record in the Western Conference.
Denver slipped to the No. 3 spot after back-to-back losses to the Phoenix Suns and Timberwolves. It has been a couple of lackluster performances by the Nuggets in their last two games, which is not a good thing ahead of the playoffs.
Meanwhile, the Cavaliers barely beat the Joel Embiid-less Philadelphia 76ers in their previous game. It was a good win to gain enough momentum, as Sunday's game is the first one in the current five-game road trip.
