Nuggets Still Contenders Despite Offseason Hesitations | Denver Nuggets News
Description
ESPN’s latest Western Conference projections have the Denver Nuggets locked in at third, a familiar spot from last season despite a quiet offseason and the surprising departure of Peyton Watson. The addition of DeMar DeRozan offers scoring depth, but it’s Nikola Jokić’s unstoppable presence that keeps Denver in elite contention. With Jamal Murray still sharp, Aaron Gordon healthy and elite when he plays, Cam Johnson settling in, and Christian Braun aiming to prove his worth, this core remains championship-caliber. While the gap between top teams like San Antonio and OKC is wide, Denver’s 51-31 projection puts them right in playoff contention — and with the Rockets, Timberwolves, and Lakers hot on their heels, every game matters. Even without blockbuster moves, the Nuggets are still a serious threat, and third place in the West? That’s still a strong foundation for postseason success.
