Tonight at 9:00 p.m. ET the Atlanta Hawks (2-2) will take a trip to the Pepsi Center where the Denver Nuggets (0-3) will try to notch their first victory of the season. Live stream the game here; Hawks fans can tune in to 92.9 The Game to listen to the game, while Nuggets fans can listen to the radio broadcast on 93.7 Mile High Sports.

The Hawks have several new players they're working in, as well as adapting to the loss of Josh Smith due to free agency. Paul Millsap now mans the power forward spot in Smith's stead, and looks forward to road jaunts.

"I feel like any time you go on the road your team gets a little closer," Millsap said. "It was a dogfight tonight and everybody had each other's backs so I feel like we got a little closer." Millsap leads the Hawks in scoring with 18.5 points a night, and is drawing praise from new head coach Mike Budenholzer.

"Paul has a knack for scoring late (in the game)," Budenholzer said. "I think both Paul and Al stepped up for us. They are working well off each other." Al Horford leads the team in rebounds, pulling down more than 11 a night, to go with 18 points.

The Nuggets are a mess on the offensive end, averaging just 93 points per game after touting one of the NBA's best offenses a season ago. They've struggled late in games this year, which plagued them in their most recent game against the Spurs on Tuesday.

"We didn't sustain that in the fourth quarter. That killed us," coach Brian Shaw said. "We just kind of lost our mind in the fourth quarter." Through three games the Nuggets are connecting on a paltry 31.7 percent of their shots in the final period.
