Nuggets get a huge break this week.

After the game in Houston on Monday Night:

Tuesday Night: against the Wizards in Denver. Wizards coming off a Monday night game in Utah.

Thursday Night: home against the Hornets. Hornets coming off a (late) wednesday night game in Golden State

Saturday Night: Home against Milwaukee. Bucks coming off a Friday night game in Sacramento.

That's three consecutive home games against three teams coming off back to backs on the road, TRAVELING EAST. I don't see how the Nuggets lose any of these games.
