New Orleans Pelicans
The Pelicans are close to regaining their place in the top ten of the West, but injuries forced the team to slow down slightly, and such a moment could not but affect the team's game as a whole. In the last meeting, the hosts were guests in Pennsylvania, where they tried to fight "Fillet". However, the meeting was dictated by the opponent, who defeated the opponent with a score of 107:117, teaching a lesson in brilliant basketball.
Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets are slowly breaking away from Minnesota, but it's still too early to relax. Michael Malone's team has been playing great lately, and therefore managed to catch up with Dallas. Recall that Denver managed to beat Detroit twice, and in the previous match one of the leaders of the East in the person of Brooklyn was beaten (124:118). Jokic and the company scored a bad move, and therefore it will be extremely difficult to stop this team.
