The Denver Nuggets wrapped up the 2023-24 regular season as the Western Conference’s second seed. They will compete against either the Los Angeles Lakers or the New Orleans Pelicans in the first round of the playoffs, making preparation for both teams crucial. Los Angeles and New Orleans will face off in the 7th vs. 8th seed play-in game, with the winner moving on to challenge Denver.
Nikola Jokic stated during the broadcast after Denver’s season-ending victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, “I’m eager to go home.” We just opened a pool recently, so I’m looking forward to spending time there with my daughter. “That’s what excites me now.”
Jokic noted that taking some time off would be advantageous. Perhaps you want to play again just to recharge and rediscover your joy. The playoffs are coming up, so the excitement can begin.”
The Nuggets aim to defend their championship and feel they have the potential. With Jokic at the forefront, Denver will present a formidable challenge for any contender. The Nuggets, who captured their first title last season, are heavily favored to repeat this year.
