The Denver Nuggets are on a roll, but can they keep their incredible road streak alive against the Washington Wizards? This is the question on every Nuggets fan's mind as the team prepares for a crucial matchup. Denver is currently riding a four-game winning streak on the road, a testament to their grit and determination away from home.
This Thursday, January 22nd, marks the second time this season the Nuggets and Wizards will face off. In their previous encounter, Denver emerged victorious with a hard-fought 121-115 win. Can they replicate that success and extend their impressive road performance?
And here's where it gets exciting for local fans: You can catch all the action absolutely free over-the-air on KTVD! Coverage kicks off bright and early at 4:30 p.m. MT. So, if you're in the Denver viewing area, grab your popcorn and get ready for some top-tier basketball without needing a cable subscription.
But what if you're outside the Denver area or prefer streaming? Don't worry, there are options! A new subscription service, Altitude+, is set to offer many Nuggets and Avalanche games that aren't nationally broadcast or subject to blackouts. This could be a game-changer for fans who want to follow their teams no matter where they are.

Here's a thought-provoking question for you: With so many ways to watch games – from free over-the-air broadcasts to various streaming options – is the traditional cable model truly becoming obsolete?
