Home sweet home.

The Nuggets next 3, out of the break are at the friendly confines of Pepsi Center, where they hold an outstanding 23-7 record.  In town on Friday are the familiar San Antonio Spurs, who it feels like the Nuggets have played a lot. The Spurs should have LaMarcus Aldridge, but Kawhi Leonard’s status remains uncertain.

Follow that with a Sunday evening tilt against the Western Conference leading Houston Rockets and a Tuesday date with the Clippers.They hit the road from there but do have a 4 day gap.

While it seems we’ve had a brutal schedule, this is the NBA Gods smiling on this young team.  The Nuggets have 24 games remaining, 13 on the road, 11 at home.  There is a staggering 7-game road trip beginning March 17 in Memphis and ending with (get this) 3 games in 4 nights versus Philadelphia, Toronto and Oklahoma City. There are 2 games remaining against division-leading Minnesota and for good measure, two big contests with the revamped Cavs.

Beyond some road shenanigans and those few games, the Nuggets have a pretty favorable schedule for the rest of the season.
