The nuggets are currently making everyone wet. After the mandatory victories over the Nets (108:102) and Wizards (118:104), two trend-setting successes over the Bucks (129:106) and 76ers (116:111) followed in the past few days.
In all likelihood, the table leader will not only move into the playoffs as the best franchise in the Western Conference, but also has the best roster to successfully take on the Pelicans tonight.
Jack White and Collin Gillespie are the Nuggets’ only two minor failures. While the Australian has never progressed beyond the role of substitute, the latter has never been on the pitch for a minute.
The Pelicans are also very interested in a win. Because shortly before the end of the regular season, everything is still possible for them, from a direct to an indirect to even no playoff starting place.
It’s all the more surprising that the Louisiana franchise without their injury-prone superstar Zion Williamson continues to fight for a place in the top eight of the Western Conference.
The latest results are quite impressive: Five wins – one of them even once morest the Los Angeles Clippers – which were followed by a 109-120 loss to the Warriors last night, but which can still be ironed out.
