The Denver Nuggets' roster depth will be crucial to their ability to compete for the top slot in the Western Conference after a season marred by COVID procedures and injuries.
The Rudy Gobert deal to the Minnesota Timberwolves, which turned the Utah Jazz into a rebuilding, or at least partially rebuilding team, took the wind out of the sails of what might have been a headline matchup for the Denver Nuggets’ regular-season opener versus the Jazz. Therefore, the first game on our list is Denver’s second game of the season, which is also away but features a far more exciting matchup versus the Golden State Warriors, the team who eliminated Denver Nuggets in the playoffs in April. The Denver Nuggets had an opportunity to show that things may have turned out differently if they had been at their peak in the postseason by facing up against Steph Curry and Jamal Murray.
