What you need to know about the Nuggets

The Nuggets snapped a two-game losing streak with their 98-97 win over the Mavs on Sunday. With two-time reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic unavailable, Denver relied on its bench to pull out the victory. Point guard Bones Hyland led the way, scoring 29 points to go along with six assists and three rebounds. Dion Jordan scored eight points and pulled down 17 rebounds after getting the start in place of Jokic.

With Jokic and shooting guard Jamal Murray both out again on Tuesday, Denver will need another strong effort from its bench, and a better performance from small forward Michael Porter Jr. Porter is one of the streakiest and most inconsistent players in the NBA. At the same time, he is also one of the most talented players on the planet. Entering Tuesday’s contest, Porter is averaging 16.3 points and 5.9 rebounds per game in 2022-23. 

What you need to know about the Pistons

The Pistons are well on their way to giving themselves the best chance in the league to win the NBA Draft Lottery and the right to draft Victor Wembanyama next summer. Detroit has lost seven straight games, and with Cade Cunningham still sidelined things likely won’t get better anytime soon.

Small forward Bojan Bogdanovic leads the Pistons in scoring, averaging 20.5 points per game. Rookie point guard Jaden Ivey has flashed glimpses of being a high-level player and is averaging 16.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.1 assists in his first year in the NBA.
