Jokic And Malone Looking to Get Things Rolling
The Nuggets just played last night and barely secured their 1st win, beating the Raptors in overtime 127-125. Jamal Murray hit a buzzer-beater to force overtime, and the Nuggets were able to finish off the hard-fought victory. Denver shot 49 percent from the field and 45 percent on 3-pointers. All the head-to-head statistics were fairly even, but the difference in the game was the Nuggets’ shooting percentage.
Before this game, Denver had been calling out the front office to make some changes. The Nuggets had experienced rough home losses, and their shooting efficiency was poor. Going into the season, Nikola Jokić and head coach Michael Malone were concerned about 3-point shooting. Denver’s 3-point shooting was efficient enough in their 1st road game, but they will need more scoring from the bench.
Nets Ready for Another Elite Team
The Nets just beat the Bucks at home 115-102. It was a close 1st half, but Brooklyn pulled away in the 4th quarter. The Nets shot 42 percent from the field and made 16 3-pointers compared to the Bucks’ 10. Additionally, Brooklyn took care of the ball a bit better than the Bucks did. Cam Thomas led the Nets in scoring with 32 points, while Nic Claxton recorded a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
In recent Nets news, Ben Simmons will be out against the Nuggets due to a lower back injury. In the last game, Simmons scored only 2 points in 24 minutes of playing time. Even though the points weren’t there, he will be missed in the rebounding department, as he is a star player capable of defending some of the elite players on the Nuggets.
Nuggets vs Nets Prediction
Both of these teams just secured their 1st win of the season. Denver is looking to be more efficient with 3-pointers, and Jokic will aim for another 30-40 point effort. Brooklyn’s offense recently put up a solid number of points against a strong Bucks team. While the Nets don’t have as much depth scoring as Denver, they are the more efficient team from beyond the arc.
