Pistons vs. Nuggets: How to watch online, live stream info, game time, TV channel

Through 3 Quarters

Only one more quarter stands between the Denver Nuggets and the victory they were favored to collect going into this night. It’s looking more and more like their high-powered offense is just too much for the Detroit Pistons as Denver lead 97-85.

Center Nikola Jokic has led the way so far for the Nuggets, as he has almost dropped a triple-double on 25 points, 19 rebounds, and eight assists. One thing to keep an eye out for is Jeff Green’s foul situation as he currently sits at four.

Detroit has been relying on the performance of shooting guard Cade Cunningham, who has shot 5-for-8 from beyond the arc and has recorded 25 points, eight dimes and five boards.

the Pistons have lost 97% of the time when they were down heading into the fourth quarter this season, so this one seems just about wrapped up

The Nuggets should still be riding high after a victory, while Detroit will be looking to regain their footing.

The Pistons are out to make up for these teams’ matchup on Sunday. Denver secured a 117-111 W over Detroit.
