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

Nuggets Playoff Chances

The Nuggetsโ€™ playoff odds are -500, giving them an implied probability of 83.33% to make the postseason.

Here is how their postseason odds compare to the Northwest Division:

  • Thunder -10000
  • Timberwolves -1400
  • Nuggets -500
  • Jazz +1800
  • Trail Blazers +3000

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.
