The City Edition jerseys are a huge success around the NBA and some teams are even taking the City Edition jersey nights one step further. The Denver Nuggets unveiled a new court design for their first Mile High City Night when they will take on the Brooklyn Nets on Friday.

Denver will wear their 2018-19 City Edition jerseys, complete with an homage to the old-school rainbow jersey design. The Nuggets are definitely one of the teams garnering the most positive attention for their City Edition jerseys.

Denver is looking forward to Friday night's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets, but be careful what you wish for. Brooklyn is flying under the radar as a dangerous team this year. The emergence of Caris LeVert has been one of the most overlooked stories of this brand new NBA season.
Furthermore, Spencer Dinwiddie, Jarrett Allen, and Joe Harris are all playing excellent. Dinwiddie is a fearless lead guard, Harris is unequivocally one of the best three-point shooters in the game, and Jarrett Allen is developing into a legitimate rim-running center a la Clint Capela.
These aren't the same old Brooklyn Nets. But the Nuggets should come into the game motivated after suffering their second loss on Wednesday. Nikola Jokic, inexplicably, only took one shot in Denver's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Bet the house that Jokic and the Nuggets will look to jump out early and prove that last game was a complete fluke. But don't expect the Nets to roll over because, Denver is off to a scorching hot start.
