After an impressive 107-106 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday, the Denver Nuggets are 11-7 on the road this season following their longest road trip of the season.

Denver just wrapped up a five-game road trip and now returns home for a three-game homestand over the next week.

At 11-7, the Nuggets have won 61 percent of their road games, which if continued throughout the 2019-20 season would mark the team’s best road winning percentage in the franchise’s NBA history.

While Denver possesses one of the best home court advantages in the league, being able to win on the road is a key indicator of a playoff-contending team and one that can carry its game from city to city.

Following the 2018-19 season, head coach Michael Malone noted the team’s improvement on the road but added that further success away from Denver is crucial to continuing to develop as a team.

“What are the areas we did not do as good a job in? Winning games on the road is one,” Malone said. “We went 20-21 on the road this year, which was an improvement over last year, but among the eight Western Conference playoff teams, it was only sixth-best. That's not good enough, we have to be a better road team.”

So far, that message has been received loud and clear, as the Nuggets have found enough ways to win away from home in the first half of the 2019-20 campaign.
