Game Info

Nuggets @ Raptors
Scotiabank Arena, Toronto, ON
Denver Nuggets What To Watch:
The Denver Nuggets will try to find their shooting stroke when they visit the short-handed and turnover-prone Toronto Raptors on Monday night.
The Nuggets shot 40.2 percent (35-for-87) from the field Saturday in a 109-104 home loss to the Los Angeles Clippers despite 41 points from Nikola Jokic, who made a career-best seven 3-pointers.
That followed a 35.7 percent (35-for-98) shooting night in Denver's 102-87 loss to the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder in Thursday's season opener.
The Nuggets went 7-for-38 (18.4 percent) on 3-point attempts on Thursday. That improved to 40 percent (14-for-35) on Saturday, thanks to Jokic going 7-for-12 from beyond the arc.
Denver committed just 10 turnovers while forcing 17 on Saturday, but Nuggets coach Michael Malone was concerned about when his team's miscues occurred.
Last season, the Nuggets defeated the Raptors in both of their meetings, including a 125-119 victory at Denver on March 11 in which Murray scored 12 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter. In the third quarter, the Nuggets were down 21 points.
Toronto Raptors What To Watch:
Toronto Raptors was again without RJ Barrett (shoulder), Immanuel Quickley (pelvic bruise), Bruce Brown (knee) and Kelly Olynyk (back) in its 112-101 loss at the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday. Brown and Olynyk are out Monday, while Quickley is doubtful and Barrett is questionable.
Gradey Dick scored a career-high 25 points for the Raptors against Minnesota, but Toronto committed 20 turnovers that led to 27 Timberwolves points.
The Raptors have tallied 66 giveaways over their first three games, including a 27-turnover performance in their 115-107 home win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday.
In addition to scoring 20 points against the Timberwolves, Scottie Barnes recorded a team-high six turnovers.
Toronto coach Darko Rajakovic praised his team for persevering through its numerous errors despite Saturday's defeat.
Dick made 9 of 16 shots (56.3 percent) against the Timberwolves after recovering from two shooting nights in which he went below 40 percent. With 16.3 points per game, the second-year guard is second on the team.
According to Dick, he just accepts the defense's offer. He also gives Barnes credit for attracting attention, which enables him to be more forthcoming. On Saturday, Barnes had six assists.
The Raptors, who were behind 32-18 at the end of the first quarter and 56-44 at the half, had 19 points from Ochai Agbaji.
