00:00We're talking about a Denver Nuggets team now set to go on the road to face the Sacramento Kings.

00:06And they're going to have to do it with a interim head coach and David Alderman who moves down a chair with the firing of Mike Malone.

00:16Now, a four-game losing streak, basically, of the Denver Nuggets has dropped them into a six-team battle royale of the Western Conference here,

00:26vying to try to land home court advantage in the playoffs or, at the very least, avoid the play-in round.

00:34So they are going to have to show up and show out.

00:37And maybe one of the better things about this game here tonight for Denver is that it's not at home.

00:42It is on the road, and sometimes in these situations makes life a little bit easier to get away from all the noise in the local media here.

00:52So now they can go to Sacramento.

00:54It's a short number, as you can see, three and 234 and a half.

00:59But the reality is there's a lot of problems with this Nuggets team.

01:05And as long as you have the joker, you've always got a shot at not only winning a game, but even winning a short series.

01:12But it feels like where there is smoke, there is fire here.

01:16I don't trust Sacramento at all.

01:19I do trust that one of the great ways to avoid all the craziness is to win and win convincingly.

01:27And I think that's what Denver does here tonight, especially with the joker, who's posting, what, 30 points a game, 13 rebounds, 11 assists.

01:36He just came off that 61.10 rebounds, 10 assists game versus Minnesota in a losing effort.

01:44Also, he put up 41, 15, and 13 versus Indiana after that.

01:49Yeah, good luck, Sacramento tonight, who is battling around that 500 record.

01:54I see nothing but Denver and a lot of Denver here tonight to get it done against Sacramento.
