Denver Nuggets vs New Orleans Pelicans Live Stream: How to Watch NBA

The Denver Nuggets go for the season-series sweep of the New Orleans Pelicans on the road on Tuesday.

The New Orleans Pelicans have lost 10 of their last 11 games, when they host the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night. The Nuggets are trying to win four of their last five matchups, despite dealing with more than their fair share of injuries. Jamal Murray has been one of the few starters who has stayed healthy this season, but he is listed as a game-time decision with an ankle injury tonight. Denver has a chance to sweep the season series tonight, as the Nuggets come into this game with a 2-0 series lead. The Nuggets won back in New Orleans in the middle of November in their last matchup, winning 125-118. Nikola Jokic was healthy in that game, and he put up 28 points, 12 assists, and 11 rebounds for the triple-double. Peyton Watson also put up a career-high 32 points. The Nuggets won even more emphatically in their first matchup of the season against the Pelicans, beating them 122-80 in Denver at the end of October. Even with a depleted lineup, the Nuggets are still the 2.5-point favorites on the road tonight to earn the sweep.

Denver bounced back from a loss to the Trae Young-less Atlanta Hawks at home to beat the Milwaukee Bucks 108-104 in its last game on Sunday. Tim Hardaway Jr. led the Nuggets with 25 points, and Aaron Gordon added 23 as he looks healthy after missing much of the previous month due to injury. Denver is still 26-13 and holding the third seed in the Western Conference standings. Once Jokic returns in February, this team can still reach its full potential this season. The Nuggets should feel a lot of hope, as they outlasted Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 31 points without Jokic and Murray in the lineup. Denver was also missing five of its top eight scorers. If they can beat the Bucks without those heavy hitters, the Pelicans should be manageable.

New Orleans is coming off a 128-118 loss against the Orlando Magic on Sunday, as the team is still looking for win number 10 on the season. Paulo Banchero led the Magic with 28 points, and he nearly had a triple-double. Zion Williamson led the Pelicans with 22 points. The Pelicans hung tough with Orlando through three quarters, but were outscored by 17 in the fourth quarter. The road only gets tougher against Denver tonight, even though the Pelicans are at home.
