The Denver Nuggets (46-24) went through a dry spell last week when they lost three of their four games, but they’ve bounced back this week with two road wins over the Charlotte Hornets and Minnesota Timberwolves. They have a chance to make it a 3-0 week in a matchup with the Detroit Pistons (20-50) who are working on locking up the second-worst record in the NBA in what has been a lost season.
Denver is 7-3 in their last 10 games, and they currently sit just one game back from the third-place LA Clippers, and they still have a chance to get that better seed.
