After dropping their first two games of the road swing, the Nuggets try to stem the bleeding against the streaking Hawks
The Denver Nuggets stumbled out of the gate on the Florida leg of their road trip with a pair of poor defensive efforts against the Miami Heat and the Orlando Magic. They have a chance to right the ship against the Atlanta Hawks, but it won't be easy. Atlanta comes into the matchup winners of 6 of their last 7, and they blew the Nuggets out in Denver 119-105 in a January game where the Nuggets once again struggled with their defensive assignments.
