After a slow start to the season buried the Nuggets (22-16) they appear to be gaining some traction. Denver rallied in the second half on Friday to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers for their fourth consecutive win and seventh win in the past seven games.
The recent winning streak pushed the Nuggets past the Houston Rockets into sixth place in the West with Golden State (23-12) now directly in Denver's sights in fifth place. Danilo Gallinari has provided a consistent scoring punch for Denver of late averaging 21 points in the last four wins.
The Warriors beat the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday to bounce back from a pair of disappointing losses to the Los Angeles Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies in their previous two games.
