The Denver Nuggets (14-7) are set to take on the Atlanta Hawks (12-10) in the first game of a two-game road set — meaning they would’ve only played 36% of their games at home after tonight’s game. The Nuggets will have to get used to playing good teams again after playing a successful back-to-back set against the Houston Rockets at home earlier in the week.
The Nuggets have been on a roll lately being on a 4 game win streak and winning 5 of their last 6. They’ve brought the effort they need to in order to steamroll bad teams, and they’ll need to continue to keep the pedal to the metal with some tough games coming up.
