Three years removed from winning their first NBA championship, can the Denver Nuggets make another run to the mountaintop during the 2026-27 NBA season?

Gavriel Wilkins and Torrence Stagger continue their journey through 30 Teams In 24 Days by heading to the Mile High City to examine the Nuggets' championship aspirations following another disappointing postseason exit.

The guys discuss Nikola Jokić's decision to delay signing a contract extension and what it could possibly mean for his long-term future in Denver. They also examine expectations for Jamal Murray following his first All-Star and All-NBA selections, along with the importance of Aaron Gordon and Cam Johnson in helping the Nuggets remain competitive among the Western Conference's elite.

Elsewhere, Gavriel and Torrence assess which players could emerge as key contributors following Peyton Watson's departure, including Christian Braun, Zeke Nnaji, Spencer Jones and Julian Strawther.

With DeMar DeRozan joining the fold and the Western Conference continuing to grow increasingly competitive, could Denver find itself fighting for a spot in the Play-In Tournament rather than competing for home-court advantage?

Finally, the guys evaluate the Nuggets' projected 47.5–49.5 win range before delivering their official predictions for Denver's upcoming season.
