The Denver Nuggets (14-6) visit the Indiana Pacers (4-17) in an NBA 2025-26 game on Wednesday, December 3, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The Pacers will try to stop the defending champs from extending their strong start, while Denver begins a four-game road trip looking to bounce back from a rare home loss.
Recently, the Pacers absorbed a 135-119 defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers, getting blitzed by 43 points from Cavs star Donovan Mitchell. The loss snapped the Pacers' mini two-game winning streak, the first time that they won back-to-back games this season.
Much of the Pacers' problems stem from their bad offensive rating, which only ranks 29th in the league (108.0). On Wednesday, they'll remain short-handed, missing key players like Tyrese Haliburton, Obi Toppin, and Aaron Nesmith.
As for the Nuggets, they're coming off a surprising 131-121 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. The Nuggets' defense was almost non-existent in that game, as they allowed the Mavericks to shoot 55.8% from the field.
Still, the Nuggets are the far better team on Wednesday, especially with their top-ranked offensive rating (125.4). The concern here is Nuggets stars Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, who are listed day-to-day with respective injuries.
The Nuggets are already missing the services of Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun.
