Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets host the Toronto Raptors on Monday for the final time this season.
The Denver Nuggets (3-3) have quietly won three of their last four games to make up for a rough start to the season. Those initial back-to-back losses opened Denver up to a lot of questions about its championship window. Since then Denver is back on track. The first win of this stretch came against the same team they play today in the Toronto Raptors (2-5). That game went to overtime after the Nuggets trailed by eight points at the half and five points entering the fourth quarter. Toronto was up 108-99 with 3:26 to go in the fourth quarter. Nikola Jokic took over with eight points and the game tying assist to Jamal Murray, who scored as time expired to send the game to overtime.
