The Denver Nuggets are hitting the road for a three-game road trip and their first opponents for the trip will be the Sacramento Kings. Today marks the first matchup of the regular season series between these two teams. Last season, the Kings took the series 3-1, but the Nuggets will be looking to bounce back this year.

The Nuggets have eight players listed on their injury report: Jamal Murray, Trey Alexander, Christian Braun, Vlatko Cancar, PJ Hall, DaRon Holmes II, Spencer Jones, and Dario Saric.
