Denver heads into Wednesday with a 3-3 record. <\/p>\n
They’re coming off a 118-110 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. That brought their record at Ball Arena to 1-2.<\/p>\n
Jamal Murray was the bright spot for the Nuggets on Monday. He finished with a gaudy scoring line\u201435 points on 10-of-19 shooting, 4-of-9 from distance, and 11-of-11 from the free-throw line. He’s scored 42, 39, and 35 points in his first six outings.<\/p>\n
Toronto, meanwhile, sits at 4-3 on the year. They’ve been mostly without seven-time All-Star Kawhi Leonard (knee injury), who arrived in Toronto via an offseason trade. The Raptors boast the NBA’s sixth-best offense and seventh-best defense.<\/p>\n
