(AP) — The Denver Nuggets’ road-heavy schedule has seemed to catch up with them as they continue to find different ways to squander leads.

That’s not very encouraging for a team that hasn’t had much success in Auburn Hills.

Denver hopes to avoid a sixth loss in seven road contests Tuesday night against the Detroit Pistons, who have dropped five of their last seven overall.

The Nuggets (10-11) are in the midst of a five-game road trip, part of a stretch in which they’ll play eight of nine away from home. They’ve played consecutive games in Denver only once this season and won’t do so again until a three-game homestand Jan. 1-5.
