Dec 19 vs Mavs

This is the tenth and final game that we are looking at, and it shouldn’t be a close one. They won’t be then, but the Mavs currently sit at 3-13, and like we said before, they are one of the NBA’s worst.

With a fully healthy Nuggets squad, this shouldn’t even be a matchup. The starting unit should outrun them, and the second unit should outrun them. This game should be over from the start. Often times the Nuggets come out without the energy to win games like this, so the energy level of the entire team will be a factor early on.

Hopefully the Nuggets can go 8-2 in these ten games, but for this team, they will be lucky to squeeze our six. The Nuggets need to learn to close game because they will have several more tightly knit games on their upcoming slate.

Watch for Denver to finally get it together and go on a little streak to help put them back into playoff contention.
