The Denver Nuggets’ 2017-18 regular-season schedule was released Monday.
On 14 occasions this season, the Nuggets will play games on back-to-back nights and nine national television appearances — five on TNT and four on ESPN.
The season begins on the road at Utah (Oct. 18) before hosting the Sacramento Kings in the home opener at the Pepsi Center on Oct. 21.
Five of Denver’s first seven games will be on the road and their longest road trip will be seven games from March 17 to March 30 — the team’s longest since the shortened 2011-12 campaign due to the lockout.
