The Denver Nuggets (12-7) are back after a couple of days off following a brief road trip last week. They’re home for a short two-game homestand against the Houston Rockets (5-14) before they head back out on the road. Following some struggles while dealing with injuries to just about every rotation player they had, they’ve won their last two games and find themselves near the top of the Western Conference.
Denver is only 6-4 in their last 10 games, but those four losses came while the team was struggling with players that were either hurt, sick or a combination of the two.
