What to Know

After three games on the road, the Denver Nuggets are heading back home. They will square off against the Atlanta Hawks at 9 p.m. ET on Sunday at Ball Arena. Denver has the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency.

The Nuggets didn't have too much breathing room in their game with the New Orleans Pelicans this past Friday, but they still walked away with a 113-108 victory. It was another big night for Denver's center Nikola Jokic, who had 37 points and nine assists along with six boards.

Meanwhile, Atlanta strolled past the Golden State Warriors with points to spare this past Friday, taking the contest 124-108. Power forward John Collins continued his habit of dropping crazy stat lines, dropping a double-double on 38 points and 12 rebounds.

Denver came up short against Atlanta in the teams' previous meeting last month, falling 123-115. Maybe the Nuggets will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the matchup and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
