The Denver Nuggets have made 31 trips to the playoffs during their time in the NBA. They have five appearances in the Conference Finals to show for it. Let’s highlight each of those seasons and discuss the results of each series.

The 2025 NBA Playoffs have not been kind of the Nuggets starter. Porter Jr. is averaging a subpar 9.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 0.7 assists per game for the Nuggets, while shooting 38.8 percent from the field and 36.1 percent from 3-point land.

A change of scenery certainly served the Cleveland Cavaliers well. They made themselves right at home in Indy.

With Jokic struggling, someone needed to step up. Jamal Murray put 27 points in a 48-minute performance, but he wasn't the "X-factor" that led to this win and some of the games the Nuggets stole before Game 3. That would be Aaron Gordon.

For one thing, Nikola Jokic had one of his worst games in memory. The three-time MVP shot just 8-of-25 from the field and missed all 10 of his 3-point attempts while committing eight turnovers, although he had 17 rebounds to help his team's cause.
