The Brooklyn Nets (10-22) are on a three-game losing streak that has seen them play some of its worst basketball since the beginning of the season, especially considering how well they played in December. Brooklyn has been dealing with some injuries to begin January, but they have another test on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets (23-11) and if you're wondering how you can watch all the action live, you've come to the right place!

The Nets come into this game following a 119-99 loss at the Washington Wizards on Friday in which Brooklyn began the game with a 13-point deficit in the first quarter and never posed a threat for the rest of the game. Center Day'Ron Sharpe had 14 points and nine rebounds in his first start of the season in place of starter Nic Claxton (personal reasons) while guard Terance Mann had 14 points and two assists.

The Nuggets enter this matchup after a 113-108 loss at the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday in which Denver was able to keep the game close despite dealing with plenty of injuries. Jamal Murray led the way for the Nuggets with 34 points and seven assists while forward Peyton Watson had 21 points and four rebounds while filling in for players like forward Cam Johnson.
