* The Denver Nuggets and Toronto Raptors are playing a game where both teams have won 3 games and lost 3 games so far this season. They both want to win to get their season going better.
* Both teams have shown they can score a lot of points quickly, but they haven't been able to do it for the whole game yet. This game is important for them to become more consistent.
* The Nuggets are worried about rebounding the ball, as they were out-rebounded in their last game. They need to do a better job of getting the ball back after missed shots, especially against a team that is good at getting second chances.
