Two years after winning the NBA championship, the Denver Nuggets are set on a deep run in the 2025 NBA playoff picture.

- Thunder -10000
- Timberwolves -1400

Nuggets Playoff Seed
The Denver Nuggets would be the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference if the season ended today. That would give them a matchup against the Houston Rockets in the opening round.
Denver was the No. 2 seed in the West last year.
Last Time the Nuggets Made the Playoffs
The Nuggets reached the playoffs in 2024, blowing a 20-point lead in Game 7 at home to the Minnesota Timberwolves during the Western Conference semifinals. That prevented the Nuggets from repeating after winning the NBA championship in 2023.
Denver has 39 playoff appearances in franchise history, including six straight since 2018-19.
