The Denver Nuggets are headed to the NBA postseason!

The defending champions have found themselves back in the playoffs. The Nuggets matched the Oklahoma City Thunder for the most regular-season wins in the West, going 57-25 to secure the 2 seed.

Here's what to know about the Nuggets' 2024 playoff contention and how to follow along.

What Seed Are the Denver Nuggets in the 2024 NBA Playoffs?

The Denver Nuggets ended the 2023-24 regular season with a 57-25 record, which was good enough to finish as the 2 seed in the Western Conference. As is tradition, the 2 seed faces the 7 seed in the first round of the playoffs.

Who Are the Denver Nuggets Playing in the 2024 Playoffs?

As the 2 seed, the Denver Nuggets play the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. This will be a typical best-of-seven series that follows the 2-2-1-1-1 format. That means the better seed (Nuggets) will host Games 1 and 2, plus Games 5 and 7 if those are necessary. The worse seed (Lakers) hosts Games 3 and 4, plus Game 6 if that is necessary.

Looking ahead, if the Nuggets win this series and advance, they would face either the Minnesota Timberwolves or the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference semifinals, as the NBA playoff matchups do not re-seed in each round.
