Preview: Denver Nuggets get right back after it in back to back with Brooklyn Nets

Nuggets look to stay hot on the road

The Denver Nuggets will look to continue their hot start to the season when they take on the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night.

The Nuggets less than 24 hours after falling in overtime to the New York Knicks.

Denver is 6-3 on the season and has won four of its last five games.

The Nets are coming off a tough loss to the Boston Celtics on Monday night.

Brooklyn is 4-4 on the season and has lost two of its last three games.

The Nets will be without Kyrie Irving, who is serving a five-game suspension for violating the NBA's health and safety protocols.

The matchup between Nuggets center Nikola Jokic and Nets guard James Harden will be one to watch.

Jokic is averaging 25.7 points, 14.1 rebounds, and 7.1 assists per game this season.

Harden is averaging 22.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 9.8 assists per game.

The Nuggets are the better team and should be able to win this game, even though they're playing on the road.

Denver has a lot of depth and is playing with a lot of confidence right now.

The Nets are a good team, but they're still trying to find their identity without Irving.
