The Nuggets come into the game with an underwhelming 11-12 record on the season in their first 23 games. 

After making the second round of the playoffs last season, they were expected to be a contender this season, but have had lots of players in and out of the lineup. 

As for the Pelicans, they have not had Zion Williamson this season, so they were expected to be bad.  

They come into the game 7-19.
