Jamal Murray could make his return to the lineup for the Denver Nuggets as they play the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Denver Nuggets will look to win their fourth game in five tries on Tuesday when they travel to New Orleans to face the Pelicans.
The Nuggets are coming off a 108-104 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, taking down Giannis Antetokounmpo and company despite missing Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. The Nuggets have victories over the Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics during this recent stretch.
The Pelicans haven't done much winning on the season with only nine total victories, and that's been especially true as of late. They have just one win in their last 11 games, defeating the Washington Wizards on January 9th. They're coming off a loss to the Orlando Magic in their last contest.
