The Denver Nuggets have lost two of their last three games to move to 21-8 on the season, with their next outing against a challenging Minnesota Timberwolves team on Christmas night. Unfortunately for the Nuggets, starting forward Cam Johnson suffered a knee injury in their last game, and now Denver will be severely shorthanded moving forward.

The Denver Nuggets host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Christmas day. Thursday's meeting will be the third of the season between the two teams.
