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.

Oklahoma City had its back against the wall on Sunday afternoon, but managed to come away with a win after a solid showing down the stretch.

Denver was last in the league in 3-point attempts per game during the regular season (31.9), but that number has jumped to 38.5 3PA in the four contests against OKC. In their first-round series versus the LA Clippers, the Nuggets fired up an average of just 29.0 3PA across seven games.

Denver can swing a trade similar to last year's between the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves, in which San Antonio sent the No. 8 pick to Minnesota for a lightly protected first-round swap six years down the road and an unprotected swap in seven.

This has not been Nikola Jokic’s finest hour, but according to Charles Barkley, the NBA has not done the Nuggets superstar any favors.
