Denver Nuggets odds
We don’t print a price for the Nuggets here yet. No Canadian sportsbook feed covers the NBA for us, and an American number isn’t a fair guide to what you’ll see in your province.
Where you can bet depends on where you live. Ontario and Alberta have licensed private sportsbooks, and the rest of Canada bets through its provincial lottery platform. Our NBA betting hub explains each province, and the list below is matched to where you are.
Denver Nuggets history
Denver joined the ABA as a charter club in 1967, playing as the Rockets. The team became the Nuggets in 1974. Two years later it entered the NBA through the ABA-NBA merger, starting in 1976-77.
Doug Moe coached the Nuggets from 1980 to 1990. His 432 wins are honoured with a retired number. Alex English scored more points for Denver than anyone and won the 1982-83 scoring title. Dikembe Mutombo, who arrived in 1991, still holds the club record for blocks.
Denver took Nikola Jokic with the 41st pick in 2014, a second-round gamble on a 19-year-old centre from Serbia who stayed in Europe for one more season before he came over. He won MVP awards in 2021, 2022 and 2024. In 2023 the Nuggets beat Miami 4-1 for their first championship. They clinched it 94-89 on 12 June, and Jokic was Finals MVP.
Most famous player: Alex English
Alex English leads the Nuggets in career points, with 21,645, and in games played. Denver got him from Indiana during the 1979-80 season and he stayed through 1990. He won the 1982-83 scoring title, and his No. 2 was retired on 2 March 1993.
Nikola Jokic has already passed him for rebounds and assists. In 2025-26 he led the whole league in both and finished second in the MVP vote.
