The grueling 82-game regular season is unforgiving. Just ask the Denver Nuggets. They're coming off a stretch where six of their last seven games were against top teams in both conferences (minus the Jazz), and after falling to SGA and the Thunder on the road on Monday, they'll be back in action at Ball Arena on Wednesday to take on the No. 4 Rockets. Less than 24 hours after that game starts, they'll tip off in San Antonio.
If that back-to-back isn't enough, the Nuggets will then travel to LA to take on the Lakers on Saturday, though they'll have a day of rest.
