Harden and the Cavs present a surprisingly difficult matchup for the Nuggets

The Cleveland Cavaliers visit Denver in what is sure to be a much more difficult matchup than it looked on paper just a week ago. That's because the Cavs just completed a trade-deadline blockbuster that saw them swap James Harden from the Clippers for Darius Garland. The Cavs' new-look offense will be a challenging matchup for Denver defensively.

Both Harden and Donovan Mitchell can score in droves, and neither of them is afraid to shoot the ball with the slightest of space on the perimeter. Mitchell is averaging a career-high 28.9 points per game this season.
