The Denver Nuggets are picking up right where they left off after their dominant championship run in 2023. With a league-leading 6-1 record to start the 2023-24 NBA season, the Nuggets are proving that they are still a force to be reckoned with.
During their championship run, the Nuggets faced tough competition in the form of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers, and Miami Heat. Despite the challenges, Denver swept through the playoffs, culminating in a five-game series victory over the Heat in the Finals.
Despite their success, the Nuggets have yet to earn the respect of Vegas oddsmakers. While they have the talent and depth to make another title run, most sportsbooks have them behind the Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks in terms of championship odds.
However, with stars like Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray leading the way, the Nuggets have the potential to surprise everyone once again. As they continue to dominate on the court, fans and analysts alike are starting to take notice of Denver’s championship-caliber play.
With their eyes set on defending their title, the Nuggets are ready to prove the doubters wrong and show that they are a team to be feared in the NBA. As they continue to rack up wins and showcase their talent, the Nuggets are making a strong case for being the favorites to hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy once again.
