The Denver Nuggets (21-11) will meet the Sacramento Kings (17-14) in the NBA on Tuesday.

Jamal Murray is starting to find his feet after a major injury layoff last season, which is good news for the Nuggets. He along with Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon made sure that the team didn't lose to the Suns, scoring 26, 41, and 28 points respectively. It was yet another triple-double for the big center, who chipped in with 15 rebounds and as many huge assists.
Meanwhile, the Kings have been playing some solid basketball. Although they lost to the Washington Wizards 125-111 in their previous outing, they still look like a confident unit. De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis were the two shining stars in the defeat, scoring 26 and 20 points respectively.
