The Denver Nuggets, currently holding a 22-10 record, rank third in the Western Conference with a 68.8% win rate. However, they've recently experienced a two-game losing streak during their Eastern Conference road trip, indicating fluctuating form. In their last five games, the Nuggets have only managed to win twice, losing three times. Their offensive system heavily relies on Nikola Jokic, the three-time MVP, who's averaging a stellar 29.6 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 11 assists per game this season. Jokic leads the entire league in both rebounds and assists, facilitating the Nuggets' league-leading offensive efficiency. The Toronto Raptors base their game on a solid defensive structure, conceding an average of only 112.7 points per game this season, placing them among the top teams in defensive efficiency. The team recently added Bismack Biyombo to bolster their interior defense, further strengthening their ability to protect the rim. While they lack a clear superstar on the offensive end, their team scoring is balanced. Brandon Ingram leads the team with 21.9 points per game. Scottie Barnes averages 8.5 rebounds, showcasing strong defensive play and playmaking skills. Jamal Shead has been in excellent form recently, scoring a team-high 19 points in the last game, providing crucial offensive support.
