The New Orleans Pelicans will meet the Denver Nuggets tonight in an NBA Game Free LIve Streaming Online from the Pepsi Center at 9:00 PM ET.

The Pelicans weren't able to take the next step in their rebuilding process, missing the playoffs for a third straight year.

Meanwhile, the Nuggets' franchise-record streak of postseason appearances has come to an end.

While the Nuggets (32-42) will post their first sub-.500 season since 2002-03, the Pelicans will improve their winning percentage for the third consecutive year.

New Orleans (32-42), though, has dropped two in a row after winning nine of 12 and a season-best five straight, falling 102-97 at home to Sacramento on Monday.

Denver's run of 10 straight playoff appearances -- the second-longest in the NBA -- has been snapped with the Nuggets 12 games out of eighth place in the Western Conference with eight remaining.

They were 7-4 from March 5-23, scoring 110.5 per game and hitting 38.2 percent of their 3-point attempts, but have since lost four straight while averaging 98.3 points and 31.1 percent from 3-point range.

Timofey Mozgov tied a career best with 23 points in Monday's 94-92 home loss to Memphis, but was at the forefront of a questionably played final possession. With seven seconds left and the Grizzles up 93-90, the Nuggets ran an out-of-bounds play to get Mozgov a look from 3-point range. Mozgov rebounded his own miss and dunked with 1.9 seconds left instead of passing the ball for another 3-point attempt.

Denver fouled Courtney Lee on the ensuing possession and he hit one free throw before intentionally missing the second, ending the game.

"We know that I can make 3s," Mozgov said despite being 1 for 13 from beyond the arc in his career. "We tried. I just missed it. It wasn't good."

The Nuggets have won seven of nine at home against New Orleans, but the Pelicans have taken two of the first three meetings this season. Most recently, Davis led them to a 111-107 overtime win in New Orleans on March 9 with 32 points and 17 rebounds.
