The Denver Nuggets are in prime position to take home the Larry O’ Brien trophy this season. Behind the herculean efforts of Nikola Jokic, the team has looked near-unstoppable in the last few weeks. They’re not clear favorites in the West (no one is, really), but they’re certainly at the top of the list. In […]

The race for the 2023 NBA MVP award has been heating up as of late, and to not much of a surprise, Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic is among the serious contenders to win the prestigious honor.

As veteran guard Russell Westbrook tries to determine his next step, former NBA star Gilbert Arenas has rushed to the defense of the nine-time All-Star. Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green, and Los Angeles Lakers big man all Anthony Davis called out the disparaging remarks about Westbrook being a toxic […]

Nikola Jokic has reached the level that eye-popping stats are just expected from him. Triple-doubles seem almost routine, with efforts like Wednesday’s home win over the Dallas Mavericks- 14 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists- seeming like an off game for the Nuggets superstar. Yet, he still finds ways to raise the bar. Jokic went […]

Nikola Jokic is going for history. The Denver Nuggets superstar center has the chance to win three straight MVP awards. Current voting patterns suggest that, with roughly a third of the season left, he is in a great position to make it happen. In the latest MVP straw poll from ESPN’s Tim Bontemps, Jokic has […]

The Dallas Mavericks and Denver Nuggets may have ended their season series at 2-2, but Luka Doncic admits there’s a huge gap between the Mavs and the Nikola Jokic-led Nuggets. Speaking to reporters after the Mavs’ 118-109 loss to the Nuggets on Wednesday, Doncic shared that Denver will always be the favorite over Dallas–or any […]

With that win, the Nuggets have […]

Los Angeles Clippers eight-time All-Star Paul George is no stranger to trades. While he’s only been traded once himself — from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Clippers in 2019 — he’s a 13-year veteran that’s seen more than his fair share of the NBA’s business side. So, as George speaks on the trade deadline […]

It’s not too often that a contending team with few draft assets to trade and limited cap room to spare gives up on a cost-controlled 22-year old guard who has two years left on his rookie deal following this season. But that’s exactly what the Denver Nuggets did after jettisoning Bones Hyland, the 26th pick […]

It’s no surprise that Bones Hyland hasn’t been happy with the Denver Nuggets after they traded him to the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline.

Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets are the first team in the West and just the second in the NBA to reach 40 wins this 2022-23 season.

Murray himself provided an update on the inflammation in his right knee before Monday’s game […]

Nikola Jokic came up big yet again for the Denver Nuggets on Saturday as they cruised to a 119-105 win over the Charlotte Hornets. The reigning back-to-back league MVP dropped a casual 30-point, 16-rebound, 10-assist triple-double in a type of performance that has pretty much become second nature for him. More importantly, though, the Nuggets […]

Reggie Jackson is already finalizing his contract buyout with the Charlotte Hornets, and by the looks of it, he already has a destination in mind after his exit. According to the latest report, Jackson is joining the Denver Nuggets after his buyout with the Hornets, per Shams Charania of The Athletic. Denver has been interested […]

Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland might have wound up with the New York Knicks had the Denver Nuggets decided to trade for wing Cam Reddish.

Nikola Jokic is taking the NBA by storm. He is the reigning MVP, who has won the award for the second straight time. Jokic is also the first center since Shaquille O’Neal to win the award. Aside from two MVP trophies, Jokic has also four NBA All-Star Game appearances and four All-NBA team selections in […]

The NBA trade deadline has officially passed, and the 2023 edition was one of the most fun and fascinating ones in recent memory. The Brooklyn Nets made two league-altering trades, shipping out Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, and the Los Angeles Lakers completely re-made their roster on the fly. Other contenders like the Los Angeles […]

Bones Hyland’s name had been floating around in trade rumors for quite some time, and while it didn’t make a ton of sense as to why the Denver Nuggets wanted to trade him so badly, they completed a deal ahead of the trade deadline to send Hyland to the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for […]

The Los Angeles Lakers aren’t done making moves ahead of the NBA trade deadline just yet, as they have dealt Thomas Bryant to the Denver Nuggets for Davon Reed and three second-round picks, sources told Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Specifically, the Lakers will receive the Nuggets’ 2025, 2026 and 2029 second round picks in the […]

For most of the 2022-23 campaign, the Denver Nuggets have, by and large, steamrolled the opposition, thanks in large part to Nikola Jokic’s nightly dominance and Jamal Murray’s gradual return to his pre-injury form. Through 55 games, the Nuggets own the best offense in the NBA and there’s no reason to expect a drop-off given […]

It’s not often that a window for title contention opens for any team in the NBA. Just ask the early 2010s Oklahoma City Thunder, a team that never won a championship despite boasting an embarrassment of riches, and the recent iteration of the Brooklyn Nets, whose vaunted Big 3 only played in 16 games together […]

If Nikola Jokic posts a monster triple-double and nobody was there to witness it, did it really happen? That was the question on Wednesday as the world focused on LeBron James passing fellow Los Angeles Lakers icon Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the top spot on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. The Denver Nuggets demolished the Minnesota […]
