 Denver Nuggets (9-4)

Nets-Nuggets Preview

(AP) -- The Denver Nuggets haven't lost a regular-season home game in nearly nine months. That winning streak shouldn't be in much danger against the New Jersey Nets.

Denver looks to improve to 6-0 at the Pepsi Center on Tuesday night when it faces a Nets team that is approaching the worst start in NBA history.

Coming off a 106-99 road loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday, the Nuggets (9-4) rebounded with a 112-93 victory over visiting Chicago on Saturday. (MORE)
