Riding a three-game winning streak, the Sacramento Kings are set to face off against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night for a very interesting matchup. The Kings are returning home for the first time after a six-game road trip, while the Nuggets are set to play their first game since firing head coach Michael Malone.

The Nuggets parting ways with Malone shocked the entire NBA world, but Nikola Jokic and company will get a strong chance to prove themselves on Wednesday.

The Nuggets are riding a four-game losing streak, but should be heavily motivated to get back in the win column against the Kings on national television.
