The Nuggets play 10 of their next 12 games on the road including 4 back-to-back games. With a current road record of 2-2 and the fact that Jamal will more than likely miss most, if not all of these games, what is your win-loss prediction for this stretch of games?

I’d say 8-4, with the most likely losses being to Cleveland, LA, Phoenix, and one of Sacramento or Atlanta
Worst case scenario, 13-0
10-2 I think the bench finds its rhythm after losing to Orlando to start the stretch 2-2.
8-4, 7-5 wouldn’t surprise me, better or worse than that would
Damn, 10-12 on the road? Worst case 13-0.
I think people here are slightly underrating how difficult it is to win on the road in the regular season. Last year we were 19-22 on the road in the regular season. Malone himself usually says they aim to be a .500 team on the road
With that being said this is a fairly soft schedule so I see us going 12-0
8-4
If MPJ can’t get hot and we can’t get the bench going to give Jok some rest minutes, worst case we’re looking at 5-7. Some of these teams are tough to beat on the road and they’re all playing playoff ball against the nuggs. But Moach will find a way and we’ll go 11-1 or 10-2.
The teams are mid. And I hope Mal can be back somewhere in the middle
Damn that’s a rough roady.
10-0 on the road. 12-0 altogether.
9-3 and we win the mid season tourney in there too.
I only see 1 to 3 losses in there. Phoenix would be the toughest if their big 3 are actually playing in a rhythm
An honest answer is that I can absolutely see the Nuggets going 6-6 over this span. 4 b2b is pretty brutal, and some of those are fairly far apart distance wise. Leaves little true rest time in between. What I think most likely is 9-3 if the team keeps playing the way they have been and the bench keeps finding it’s stride.
Who makes theses schedules lol
I did not think I would be saying something like this last year but I really hope they win those games against Houston.
That week of December 3-10 will in close 2-3 games for the in season tournament.
6-6 or 7-5. Worse is certainly possible but not many scary games on the schedule
10 – 2
9-3 is my prediction. I mean what a brutal start to the season. 7 games in 11 days then this? They will be battle tested very early in the season. If they have the 1 seed after all this nothing is stoping them.
I reckon 8-4 assuming no other injuries mainly cause there are some very large teams on the slate who can make jokic work harder than the traditional 1 big 2-3 wings and 1-2 guards
9-3. Losses @Det @Sac @Atl
God who does scheduling for the NBA? Nuggs always getting the shaft
I’d expect close to .500 for road games. That’s just kinda how we roll in the regular season and that’s completely fine. That’s what we did last year
11-1
Loss to the magic

7-5 and I’m happy with it. Injuries happen more often on roadtrips. At this point I trust a fully healthy Nuggets team to go into any building game 1 of a series and steal home court. No season ending injuries. That’s all that matters.
I’m fully prepared for the next couple weeks to be a cess pool of doom in here as the Nuggets drop a few games they probably should have won.
10-2 losses to Cleveland and the Kings
7-5 or 8-4. These teams mostly have zero identity. Yeah, some talented young teams. However, there may be only two or three playoff/play in teams. Perhaps 9-2. Let’s go Nuggets
12-0 easy…
This doesn’t even include the in season tourney games between dec 2 and dec 11.
Honestly glad Jamal is sitting out the start of this season, we got HAMMERED on the front 1/4 of the season, but our post all star is the easiest in the league.
That being said, 7-5 not counting the IST
The Atlanta Chicago games are really a different part of schedule. Will be tournament in that gap
Scheduled Losses:
Cleveland, Orlando, Phoenix, Sacramento
Unsurprising Losses:
New Orleans, Houston, Clippers, Atlanta, Chicago
Expected wins:
Detroit, Houston (home), San Antonio
Overall I’d say we go 6-6, but if we even came out of this stretch with a small winning record I’d be very happy
Win record is a social construct that facilitates a hierarchy of oppression. Marxism rules.
