After winning the 2023 NBA championship, the Denver Nuggets are hoping to make another run at the title.
Not much has changed for the team that went 53-29 and was victorious in 16 out of 20 postseason games on its way to hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy for the first time in franchise history.
Two-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic will continue to lead the Nuggets alongside star point guard Jamal Murray, rising forward Michael Porter Jr. and veteran starters Aaron Gordon and Kentavius Caldwell-Pope. Denver did lose a key rotational player in Bruce Brown, but added veteran point guard Reggie Jackson and swingman Justin Holiday to maintain some depth.
Head coach Michael Malone will have the tough task of getting the Nuggets to be the first team to repeat as champions since the Golden State Warriors in 2017 and 2018. However, Denver will be a perennial contender as long as Jokic is on the roster.
