The Denver Nuggets are riding a wave of momentum into the All-Star break and hope to continue their recent success when they take on the San Antonio Spurs for the first time this season Monday.
Denver (37-16) is coming off two consecutive road wins in very different fashions. With only seven players taking the court on the second night of a back-to-back Wednesday, the Nuggets defeated their division rival the Utah Jazz. On Saturday, Denver was provided a boost from the return of Paul Millsap and the addition of new players such as Keita Bates-Diop, who was acquired in a four-team trade earlier in the week.
