The last meeting between Pelicans and Nuggets was on 7 March 2022 with the match taking place at the Ball Arena in Denver.
Led by Nikola Jokic's 46 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, three steals and four blocks, the Nuggets defeated the Pelicans, 138-130, in overtime.
The Pelicans are currently placed third in the Western Conference having recorded 12 wins and eight defeats from 20 matches.
While the Nuggets find themselves in the second spot in the Western Conference having registered 13 victories and seven defeats from 20 games.
The Nuggets defeated the Houston Rockets 129-113 on Tuesday, November 29 as Jokic recorded 32 points and 12 rebounds, while Jamal Murray scored a season-high 31.
“I know this team has another level, another gear that we can get to,” Denver coach Michael Malone said after the game.
“Knowing that we had eight new guys coming in, knowing that we were bringing back a Jamal Murray and a Michael Porter, it wasn’t going to happen in the first 20 games, especially with all the injuries and COVID illnesses that we’ve had early on.
"When you account for the lack of continuity, the schedule, the injuries and the different lineups, I’m incredibly proud of our group for being where we are.”
