PREVIEW: The Cleveland Cavaliers travel to Denver to face the Nuggets in a matchup between two of the league's top offensive teams. James Harden made an immediate impact in his Cavaliers debut, dropping 23 points and 8 assists against Sacramento , and Cleveland's efficient rim attacking and high-frequency three-point shooting (ranked 3rd and 6th respectively) should keep Denver's defense busy throughout the night. The Cavaliers rank fourth in points per game at 119.7 , showcasing an offensive arsenal that has been nearly unstoppable in recent weeks. Cleveland enters riding a three-game road winning streak, and this contest closes out a five-game road trip where the Cavaliers currently hold a 3-1 record. The Nuggets counter with elite three-point shooting efficiency (ranked 2nd) and a remarkably low turnover rate (ranked 3rd) , hallmarks of their league-leading offensive approach. Denver leads the NBA in effective field goal percentage at 57.5%, anchored by Nikola Jokic's season-long triple-double average of 28.9 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 10.7 assists. However, the Nuggets will be without Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson due to hamstring injuries, creating depth issues at forward. The status of Jamal Murray, who left Saturday's game with a hip issue, remains uncertain and could significantly impact Denver's playmaking capabilities against Cleveland's dynamic backcourt.
