INDIANAPOLIS (Interstat) — The Denver Nuggets look to rebound from a rare home loss when they visit the struggling Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Denver (14-6) arrives after a 131-121 defeat to Dallas on Monday, despite a 29-point, 20-rebound, 13-assist triple-double from Nikola Jokic. The Nuggets had won seven of their previous eight before that setback. Indiana (4-17) has lost four of its last five, including a 135-119 home loss to Cleveland on Monday. Andrew Nembhard led the Pacers with 21 points and six assists in that contest. The teams met last month in Denver, with the Nuggets securing a 117-100 victory on Nov. 8. Denver has won four straight in the series. The Pacers will aim to leverage home court, where they have won two of their last three. Denver continues a four-game road trip after this contest, facing Atlanta on Friday. Indiana hosts Sacramento on Monday.
