The Denver Nuggets have likely caught a break on Sunday afternoon when they take on the Orlando Magic. Dwight Howard will be out for this game due to back issues:
Huge news: Dwight Howard not playing tonight vs #Nuggets (back injury)

Glen Davis will start in place of Howard. This should help the Nuggets in their pursuit of improving their 3-20 road record against the Magic. However, the Nuggets will be without one of their own players, Wilson Chandler:
Just heard from those on the ground in Orlando. No @wilsonchandler today for #Nuggets (groin strain).

Corey Brewer will draw the start, instead.
