Denver Nuggets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) managed to suit up for Sunday's playoff loss to OKC. Unfortunately, he finished with only eight points, adding 11 rebounds while turning the ball over four times. Had the hamstring strain occurred during the regular season, Gordon likely wouldn't have been out there. However, he gave it his all, although it wasn't enough to stop the Thunder from earning a 32-point win. The 29-year-old finished the regular season by averaging 14.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists. He also shot a career-high 43.6% from deep and was also instrumental in the Nuggets' success throughout the postseason. Still, injuries were an issue for Gordon. But if he stays healthy during the 2025-26 campaign, he should stay relevant for fantasy managers.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray finished with 13 points in Sunday's loss to the Thunder. He added three steals and two assists. This was arguably Murray's worst showing of the series with OKC, especially on the scoring end. He shot a rough 6-for-16 from the field and made only one of his eight attempts from downtown. The 28-year-old averaged 21.4 points, 6.0 assists, and 3.9 boards during the regular season. While his three-point percentage dropped, he at least appeared in 67 games, eight more than the 2023-24 campaign. With that said, Murray has All-Star potential. However, his health is always a concern for fantasy managers, and he's also been known to go cold at times throughout his career.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic finished with 20 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists in Sunday's postseason loss to OKC. The Thunder defense made defending Jokic a priority in Game 7. As a result, OKC managed to earn a decisive 32-point victory to earn a trip to the Western Conference Finals. Without question, it was a chaotic year in Denver, with the team firing head coach Michael Malone in April and replacing him with David Adelman. Still, Jokic had the best campaign of his career, averaging 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 10.7 assists in 70 appearances. The Nuggets have some work to do to bolster the roster. However, no matter how the depth chart looks, Jokic should remain the top fantasy option heading into the 2025-26 season.
