The Nuggets got a huge win in Minnesota on Saturday night, beating their biggest rival, and a team that has had their number more than any other recently, even without two starters. With the win, Denver improved to 10-2 on the season, their best start since the 1985-86 season.
That team started 11-2 before losing again, so the Nuggets will have a chance to make this start even more historical with wins in their next two games against the Bulls and Pelicans. The Nuggets will be without Christian Braun, who was ruled out for at least 6 weeks due to an ankle injury.
