The Denver Nuggets are set to wrap up a four-game homestand as they face off against the Toronto Raptors. The game, scheduled for Monday, will see both teams dealing with a number of injuries.
Denver will be without Vlatko Čančar due to left knee surgery, as well as Braxton Key, Jalen Pickett, and Hunter Tyson, who are all out on G League assignments. On the other hand, the Raptors will miss Scottie Barnes due to a left hand fracture, while RJ Barrett, Chris Boucher, Bruce Brown, D.J. Carton, Mouhamadou Gueye, and Jakob Poeltl are all listed as questionable or out due to various injuries and assignments.
Despite their 23-41 record, the Raptors have had an eventful season, making significant trades and dealing with key player injuries. Scottie Barnes, a first-time All-Star, is out indefinitely after breaking his hand, which has further impacted the team’s performance.
Former Nugget Bruce Brown, who won a championship with Denver before moving to Toronto, will be facing his former team for the first time since the trade. The outcome of the game is crucial for the Nuggets as they aim to secure the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, currently trailing the Oklahoma City Thunder by one game.
For fans looking to catch the action, the game will be aired on Altitude TV and Altitude Sports Radio 92.5 FM at 7:00 p.m. MT.
Stay tuned for an exciting matchup between the Denver Nuggets and the Toronto Raptors as both teams look to overcome their respective challenges and secure a crucial victory.
