Denver Nuggets will lock horns with the Brooklyn Nets in the
National Basketball Association (NBA) regular season match on 11 January.
Head-to-Head
This will be the 102nd meeting between the two teams in the regular season since their first game in the 1976/77 term - the Nuggets' debut NBA campaign.
The Nuggets have dominated this rivalry having recorded 56 wins compared to the Nets' 45 victories from 101 matches.
Most recent meeting
The Nuggets defeated the Nets in overtime, 144-139 at the Barclays Center in the New York City borough of Brooklyn on 30 October.
Despite the loss, Dennis Schroder totaled 28 points and 14 assists for the Nets and Denver moved to 2-2 on the year while the Nets fell to 1-3.
Key Players
The Nuggets will pin their hopes of defeating the Nets on Nikola Jokic who tends to use his size and field of view to set up his teammates for scores, often through a variety of no-looks and unique deliveries.
While Cam Thomas, who is the youngest player in NBA history to score 40+ points in three straight games, could be the player to inspire the Nets to victory over the 2023-24 NBA champions.
Quotes
“We gotta keep showing the fight, which we did, but with purpose. That’s good that it happens now. That’s how we build and that’s how we learn," Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez said after his side's 123-94 defeat to Philadelphia 76ers on 5 January.
“We compiled a lot of mistakes. A mistake is always okay because you always have a chance to get it back, but it’s always hard when you make a mistake, you’re thinking about the mistake and making another one.”
