The Denver Nuggets welcome the struggling Indiana Pacers to Pepsi Center for the second game of a home-home back-to-back for the Nuggets. Both teams last played the LA Clippers. The Nuggets pulled out a three point victory while the Pacers fell to the Clips by two. Denver defeated the Pacers in Indiana earlier this season. That win sparked an 8-2 stretch for Denver, breathing new life into their season. The Nuggets have a winable game tonight that could spring a run of victories, turning their fortunes around.
Minimal mistakes and good ball movement keyed a blowout for the Nuggs. Denver only made eight turnovers in their last game against Indiana while eight Nuggets scored in double figures. The Pacers are near the bottom in points forced per game. If Denver maintains a fast paced attack on offense, Indiana won't be able to keep up. Even after playing the night before against a rested opponent, running will be advantageous for the Nuggets.
Prediction
Arron Afflalo scores over 20 points and Ty Lawson dishes out 13 assists as the Nuggets treat the city to tacos, 111-104
