Looking at the past several games, the Nuggets have demonstrated a solid offensive presence. In their last game against the Golden State Warriors, they secured a victory with 120 points and showed impressive efficiency with a shooting percentage of nearly 49 percent from the field and 41 percent from beyond the arc. Their ability to draw fouls and capitalize on free throws was evident as they shot over 81 percent from the line.

Defensively, Denver has been just as formidable. They managed to block four shots and steal six times in that same game against Golden State. This defensive prowess was also on display in their previous game versus Charlotte Hornets where they accumulated an incredible 13 blocks and 11 steals while limiting their opponents to just under 93 points per possession defensively.

The team's trend is clearly upward as evidenced by another strong showing before that against Brooklyn Nets where they scored an impressive 122 points. Their assist-to-turnover ratio stood out at an exceptional rate of almost five assists for every turnover committed.

As we approach this upcoming contest, it's clear that Denver's balanced attack could be pivotal in Paycom Center—a venue known for its energetic atmosphere which could play into how both teams perform on court.
