Denver Nuggets 2025 outlook
The Denver Nuggets play in the Western Conference's Northwest Division at Ball Arena in downtown Denver, a mile above sea level. The franchise was founded in 1967 as the Denver Rockets of the American Basketball Association, took the Nuggets name in 1974 and joined the NBA in the 1976 merger. For decades it was known for fast, high-scoring teams that fell short in the playoffs. That changed in 2023, when Denver reached its first NBA Finals and beat the Miami Heat in five games. Visiting teams still cite the altitude as a real factor in late-game legs.This page keeps the Nuggets' roster, injury report, starting lineup, next game and Western Conference standings in one place, and prices them. The outlook panel above shows the market-implied probability of Denver reaching the playoffs, winning the Western Conference and winning the NBA Championship, with the latest move on each. Those numbers come from traders on Kalshi, not from a preseason projection, and they update continuously.
Frequently asked questions

How many championships have the Nuggets won?One. Denver won the 2023 NBA Finals over the Miami Heat in five games, in the franchise's first Finals appearance. Before joining the NBA in 1976, the franchise reached the final ABA championship series that spring and lost to the New York Nets.
