The Denver Nuggets are opening their season with big changes and high hopes to finally make the playoffs after being edged-out by the Portland Trailblazers last year.
They begin their season on October 18 against the Utah Jazz on the road and play their first home game at the Pepsi Center against the Sacramento Kings on October 21.
Those first two games will give fans a glimpse into the whether the changes they've made this offseason will take the team to the next level. Although they can neither win nor lose their season in those first few games, it would help their cause to gain early momentum to help carry them into the post season.
The team has two substantial road trips this season, the longest a seven-game trip from March 17 to March 30 and the other a six-game trip in early December.
The Nuggets will face the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday, March 3 on the road and Wednesday, March 7 at home. They face the Golden State Warriors three times this season, once at home Saturday, February 3.
Entering their historic 50th season, the Nuggets acquired Paul Millsap, added a logo to their jersey and strengthened their young talent's skill.
Denver hasn't made it to the postseason since the 2012-13 season.
