Denver Nuggets Rivalries
The Denver Nuggets have been in the NBA since the late 60s, but it took them some time to finally notch a championship title into their record. Throughout that time, they’ve developed no small number of rivalries. Here are some of the most famous:
Denver Nuggets vs. Utah Jazz
The rivalry between the Nuggets and Jazz dates back to their days as division rivals after the NBA-ABA merger in 1976. Over the years, they’ve faced each other in several memorable playoff series, including a dramatic seven-game battle in 2020. The competitiveness of these two Rocky Mountain teams has made their matchups thrilling for fans, with the Jazz often holding a slight edge historically.

Denver Nuggets vs. Phoenix Suns
The rivalry with the Suns gained momentum during the 2021 playoffs when Phoenix swept Denver, leading to the infamous “Suns in 4” moment, which cemented tensions between the teams.
