The Denver Nuggets are hosting the red-hot Cleveland Cavaliers in the second and final game of their in-season series matchup. The Cavaliers are coming into tonight's game on a five-game winning streak, while the Nuggets still have not found solid momentum.

The last time these two teams faced off ended in favor of Cleveland, and it was a very eye-opening moment for the Denver Nuggets. It showed Denver just how outclassed they truly were.

The Nuggets have six players listed on their injury report: Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, Trey Alexander, Vlatko Cancar, PJ Hall, and DaRon Holmes II.

Jamal Murray is currently listed as probable with a right ankle sprain.

Aaron Gordon is listed as out with a right calf strain.
