The Denver Nuggets are in the thick of one of the tougher parts of their schedule but also one of the more difficult stretches of the NBA schedule as well. With 33 games under their belt and 49 to go, physical fatigue is present but mental fatigue most of all. The holiday season is coming to an end and the Nuggets will play 25 more games until they hit the All-Star break. The beginning of the season garnered excitement for all and that has worn off especially for the Nuggets.
Through their first 15 games, late October to mid-November, the Nuggets held a 9-6 record.
