Denver Nuggets Form

Denver go into this game looking to snap a three-game losing sequence that has seen them drop to 14-10.

The Nuggets hit a hot streak in late November as they won their final four games of the month.

They won 131-126 in overtime at Oklahoma City and then followed that up with a 114-104 victory at the LA Clippers.

Denver then extended their streak when they returned home to win back-to-back meetings with Houston, 129-113 and 120-100.

The Nuggets run was halted by a 117-109 loss in Atlanta, and that started a three-game skid that has seen them also lose 121-106 in New Orleans and 116-115 at home to Dallas.

Portland Trail Blazers Form

Portland are looking to make it three wins in a row as they try to get their season back on track.

The Trail Blazers started the season hot as they went 10-4 through 14 games, but their form cooled off in the second half of November.

They lost seven times in an eight-game spell – a run that included a four-game losing skid against some of the NBA’s best teams.

Portland were able to end last week on a positive note though, winning both of their weekend outings.

The Trail Blazers won 116-11 in Utah before returning home to beat Indiana 116-100.
