Denver will be aiming for a three-game winning streak after picking up road victories against the Indiana Pacers and Atlanta Hawks. The Hornets have a rare success to celebrate after winning at Toronto 111-86 on Friday night, marking the first time they've kept an opponent to fewer than 100 points this season.

Two Nuggets' rookies, who could add depth to Denver's bench, performed well in a Thursday night matchup against the Iowa Wolves.

Nikola Jokic scored 39 points and the Denver Nuggets rallied from 23 points down with a big fourth quarter to beat the Atlanta Hawks 134-133.

The Nuggets are this close to being closer to a tier with Oklahoma City. But they’re coming up short in clutch situations.

As expected, Jokic and Jamal Murray delivered, with the latter recording 23 points and nine assists. Meanwhile, Cam Johnson seems to be breaking out of his shooting slump, scoring 20 points on 63.6 percent shooting from the field, built on three triples.

Aaron Gordon became a champion and fan favorite for the Denver Nuggets, but he apparently hated playing in the city when he was a member of the Orlando Magic.

The Nuggets take a 3-0 series lead with a commanding victory in L.A. and they've pushed the Lakers to the brink of elimination after a deep run. Jamal Murray scores 17 points in the 1st quarter of Game 3, positioning the Nuggets to take a commanding 3-0 series lead in the Western Conference Finals.
