Denver Nuggets Schedule, Odds, Scores for 2022 NBA Playoffs
By Peter Dewey
Nikola Jokic is really something else.
The reigning MVP carried the Denver Nuggets to the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference despite not having Jamal Murray for the entire 2021-22 season and Michael Porter Jr. for all but nine games this season.
Now, Jokic and the Nuggets are looking to make an insane run to the NBA Finals, but they are just +2500 at WynnBET to get it done.
Below, we break down the Nuggets’ playoff run, schedule, odds and more for each series.
Denver Nuggets Playoff Schedule, Scores and TV Channel
The Nuggets have a brutal first-round matchup, as they’ll play the Golden State Warriors, who are hoping to get Steph Curry back in the lineup for this series.
If Curry doesn’t play, it certainly opens the door for Denver, who is the best team in the NBA in true shooting and effective field goal percentage this season. Jokic should have his way with the Warriors’ smaller bigs, as he’s averaging 28.0 points, 15.8 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game while shooting 51.9 percent from the field against them this season.
I broke down this series here.
