The full 2025-26 NBA regular season schedule was released on Thursday afternoon, and somehow, five teams in the Western Conference have more nationally televised games than the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets won the title in 2023, made the West semifinals the past two seasons, and had one of the best offseasons of any team in the league.
On top of that, they have the player favored to win the MVP Award in Nikola Jokic, who happens to have won the award three out of the past five years. The Nuggets enter the season with the third-best odds to win the championship, and after the tumultuous ending to last season, and all the changes this summer, they are one of the most intriguing teams out there.
