The Denver Nuggets will look to extend their winning streak as they travel to Orlando.
The Denver Nuggets are the hottest team in the entire NBA right now. Winners of their last six game, they will be tested as they take on the young and budding Orlando Magic.
The Nuggets have already defeated the Magic once this year in a home game which saw the Nuggets prevail by a final score of 112-87. A game where the Nuggets had one of their best defensive performances of the entire year.
So, with all of this in mind, what is the main key for extending the win streak to seven games for our young Denver Nuggets. The key has to be not to overlook this Orlando Magic squad.

As every Nuggets fan knows by now, Denver is notorious for dropping games to lesser opponents. Don’t believe me? Take a look at some of the opponents the Nuggets have lost to this year in the Nets and Lakers. Or how about last year when the team lost to teams such as the Hawks, Kings and the lowly Suns? ( A Suns team who had just traded Eric Bledsoe I might add.)
For the Denver Nuggets, playing the Magic like they are the defending champs will be imperative considering they are in hostile territory. The Magic are no slouch this season. They are in the Easter Conference post season discussion and are currently sitting at the seventh seed in the East.
Also, I am sure you have heard this phrase before, so forgive me for being cliche, but any team can beat any other team on any given night, especially in the pros.
So, the Nuggets need to come out aggressive and play like there is no tomorrow (as they should no matter what anyway) if they want to continue their successful road trip.
