Denver Stiffs, a Denver Nuggets community

Zach Harper breaks down how a host of players and coaches have been establishing themselves in their new digs. Despite being tabbed questionable heading into the contest with a wrist injury, Caldwell-Pope will resume his normal starting duty. The guard has averaged 11.0 points and 2.9 rebounds across 22 previous starts. He has now started seven consecutive games, putting up top-50 value over that period. While he won't help you significantly in any one category, he does have the ability to chip in across the board, making him a valuable commodity, especially in roto formats.

The Nuggets finished 9th, one game behind the 8th seeded Timberwolves. Over the course of the 2016 NBA draft, the Denver Nuggets added the Kentucky guard Jamal Murray as well as Juan Hernangómez, Malik Beasley, and Petr Cornelie. Meanwhile, their 56th pick was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder. On 13 February 2017, Nurkić was traded, along with the rights to the Memphis Grizzlies' 2017 first-round draft pick, to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Mason Plumlee, a 2018 second-round pick and cash considerations.

In the playoffs, however, the Nuggets could not survive the San Antonio Spurs. After winning game one in San Antonio, the Nuggets proceeded to lose the next four games and lost the series 4–1. The Nuggets picked 20th in the 2005 NBA draft; it was acquired from the Washington Wizards via the Orlando Magic.

Denver did have a chance to tie the game in the closing seconds, but Jokic missed the front-end of his two-free throws and a Jamal Murray half-court heave at the buzzer did not fall as the nuggets lost their third straight game. Another beneficiary of the days off is Keon Johnson who makes his return to the court after missing 15 games with a hip injury. The Blazers have had three days off to rest some tired bodies, namely Josh Hart and Drew Eubanks who are now listed as probable for the Nuggets game at the Moda Center.

The player names were written in block lettering and in a straight position. In 1985, they changed the shade of blue to royal and eliminated green, and in 1986, changed the back numbers to royal blue. In 1991, coinciding with the debut of Dikembe Mutombo, the word "Nuggets" became white with royal blue and gold trim.

As an insult, many sportswriters nicknamed the team at the time as the "Enver Nuggets" (as in no "D", or no defense). In 1975–76, playing at their new arena, the Nuggets edged the reigning champion Kentucky Colonels four games to three to make the 1976 ABA finals for the first time. They did not get a second chance to win an ABA league championship, as the ABA–NBA merger took place after the 1975–76 season.

The Denver Nuggets lost a home game to the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday to fall to on the season. It was Denver's third straight loss, and it's left the Nuggets feeling frustrated. Nuggets attempt to put ugly losses behind them, gear up for Mavs In less than 48 hours, the Denver Nuggets went from flying high to crashing and burning.
