Denver Nuggets Schedule 2019 Nuggets Schedule

The Nuggets were a borderline playoff team last season, losing out on the final spot, on the final day. Denver has plenty of talent, but play in the toughest division in the West. Four out of the five teams in this division went to the playoffs last year. The Nuggets are a tricky team to project moving forward, mainly because of their inconsistencies throughout the year. The Nuggets went 28-24 against the West, which is respectable given the talent, but will need to shape up a bit more. They fared well in the East, going 18-12. The Nuggets were one of the best home teams last season, going 31-10, which meant a struggling performance on the road going 15-26. They start the season with four home games, before heading into November. The Nuggets get a little bit disrespected on the holiday games, but have plenty of nationally televised games throughout the year. Most of their televised games are in the second half of the season, but they do have a TNT game against LeBron James and the Lakers. In fact, all of their Lakers matchups are televised. In March, Denver has seven nationally televised games, and then three of their final six games are on TV. They face Portland twice, Utah, and Minnesota in their last four games which are huge divisional games. We saw Minnesota and Denver square off in the last game last season, which was a play-in game for the playoffs. This will be a crucial stretch for Denver, and the rest of their division opponents. The Nuggets and Jazz are underrated rivals, and see each other spread out in the season, which is a little disappointing if we were looking for some late season drama. The Nuggets will be a fun team to watch, and we are cracking into the better teams in the West.
