The Denver Nuggets will play their final regular-season home game at Ball Arena on Friday when they host Ja Morant and the Grizzlies. It'll be a battle between the two NBA teams that surprisingly parted ways with their head coaches within the last two weeks. Denver snapped its four-game losing streak on Wednesday in Sacramento, the team's first game since Michael Malone and Calvin Booth were fired. Every Nuggets starter scored 20+ points except for Jalen Pickett, who finished with 18.

Best player in the world. It may seem like the Kroenke family threw in the towel on the Denver Nuggets' season when they fired Michael Malone and Calvin Booth earlier this week. Josh Kroenke said the decision was made to give the Nuggets a better chance at winning another championship, even though it didn't seem that way initially. It's a risk to get rid of your head coach from the past 10 years with only three games left in the regular season.

The Kroenke family decided not to wait. The vibes weren't high for the Denver Nuggets after losing four straight, but fans didn't expect Michael Malone and Calvin Booth to be fired with three regular-season games remaining. It was a shocking decision that had ripple effects throughout the league. Malone's dismissal marked the second time in less than two weeks that a top-six team in the West was fired. The Grizzlies dismissed Taylor Jenkins on March 28, which was hard enough to believe.

The news fans have been waiting for! All eyes were on the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night, not only because their game in Sacramento was on ESPN. It was the team's first game since head coach Michael Malone and GM Calvin Booth were dismissed. Denver lost four straight games entering the matchup against the Kings. The losing streak started with a 140-139 overtime loss to the Timberwolves. Nikola Jokic's historic 61-point triple-double wasn't enough for Denver.

This is the worst-case scenario. Denver Nuggets fans were trying to digest the team's four-game losing streak that came at the worst possible time when ESPN's Shams Charania posted his second-most shocking tweet of the season. Nothing could've topped the Luka Doncic trade to the Lakers, but the Kroenke family tried. Charania reported that the Nuggets fired head coach Michael Malone with three games left to play in the regular season.
