One of the most consistent sides in the NBA playoffs, the Denver Nuggets, is reaching new highs in the Western Conference. Their consistent run in the 2010s makes them the toughest opponent in the league. The Nuggets haven’t missed a single playoff since 2018-19 and also featured in the NBA Finals once in the process.

Denver joined the NBA in 1976 and qualified for the playoffs in nine consecutive seasons in the 1980s and ten consecutive seasons from 2004 to 2013. The Nuggets are the last of the four surviving former ABA teams to reach the NBA Finals, and the second former ABA team to win an NBA title.
