Early-season stat proves Nuggets are top-tier title contenders

The Nuggets got back in the win column on Monday night with a hard-fought 130-124 victory over the Kings in Ball Arena. Sacramento made them work, but Denver opened up a big lead early and was able to coast to the finish line.

They’re just 4-2 on the season now, but they’ve led all six games by at least 12 points at one point. Shockingly, they’re only the ninth team in NBA history to have a dozen-point lead in each of their first six games.

While that may not seem like much or anything crazy, it looks like a pretty good sign.
