The Denver Nuggets got a break on their schedule this season….kind of. They still have a brutal last stretch of games, but they will at least have more home games and fewer road trips which last several games than they did last season.
With all of this in mind, they have to get off to a solid start at the beginning of the regular season. They must do this, so they have a bit of a cushion for when the difficult games come and they are not fighting for their playoff lives like they were last season.
For their first portion of games, the Nuggets will have a total of nine out of their first 15 games played at Pepsi Center.
