We had mentioned earlier this week that the morning of every remaining Nuggets regular season game, we would preview their chances for a win. Their next game comes on Saturday, though since we are for the most part a Monday-Friday blog, we'll discuss tomorrow night's game right now.

The task at hand is finding a way to defeat the Sacramento Kings. As Nuggets fans know, Sacramento used to be a place the Nuggets have had problems winning. That said, this game is in Denver, a place the Nuggets have had a lot of success this season. How successful have they been? How about 31-7 at home so far? Getting win number 32 tomorrow is crucial.

Outlook: A tough week for the Nuggets. A complete roller coaster wave of emotions. On Tuesday, they let a 22-point lead get away in a loss in Phoenix. The next night, they came back to defeat the Suns at home. I think the Nuggets would spin that last win as proof they are legitimate postseason contenders. I would have to disagree. To me, that two-game set just further goes to showcase their biggest issue all season long, that is, inconsistency.

Numbers: The only number that matters is one. That is, the game against the Kings is "one" that can't get away. There is really no way to sugarcoat this. If the Nuggets lose tomorrow, even they will, in my estimation, privately admit to themselves, this season, at least, it was not meant to be.

Prediction: Last season, this was a game Denver may have overlooked. At this point, they will not underestimate anyone. The loss to Phoenix on Monday was not a case of underestimating the Suns, it was merely a case of not being to close them out. To me, there is a big difference. The Nuggets are good at home and, in my opinion, are good for a win tomorrow.

Have a nice weekend.
