The Denver Nuggets starting lineup revolved around Nikola Jokic this season. With Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. out, it left a group of unusual starters. Monte Morris commands the point guard role, becoming a regular starter in Murray's absence this season. Will Barton and Aaron Gordon are also staples of the lineup when healthy. Jeff Green is usually the other starter for Denver this season, which will likely shift next season. Find confirmed and projected starting lineups for the Denver Nuggets here.

The Nuggets starting lineup this season was decimated by injuries before it started as Jamal Murray went down in the playoffs last season. Michael Porter Jr. struggled to get healthy and ended up missing the entire series. This led to Nikola Jokic carrying the team on its back. Jokic led the team in just about everything. Aaron Gordon and Will Barton were the next best options around him and started 43 games alongside Jokic.
Denver's backcourt rotated quite a bit this season, between Monte Morris, Will Barton, Austin Rivers, and Facundo Campazzo. This says it all about Jokic's MVP Campaign.
