The NBA regular season schedule is out, it is finally time to begin looking towards how the Denver Nuggets could display their performance during the 2022-23 NBA season.
Lets have a look at three points which would be beneficial for the Nuggets to be victorious:
- The first and foremost is to beat teams under .500on regular basis. If Denver can just take care of bad teams, it will do a whole lot of good for their record by the end of the season. Nearly every team who claims a top-four spot in the playoffs and home court advantage took care of business against teams which have a slight edge on them.
- Secondly, winning at home as often as possible. Again, it might seem obvious, but those random February nights at home are the perfect opportunity to either put space between themselves and teams behind them or catch another team to earn a higher place in the rankings.
- Lastly, being victorious against division opponents. Mostly, the tiebreakers in the NBA relate directly to performances within your own division. To be put simply, division leaders claim tiebreakers over opponents who did not win their division regardless of which division a team is in. In a loaded Western Conference, having that tiebreaker is a asset.
However, start of 2023 should be a fun ride for the Nuggets with 10 of their 12 games coming at Ball Arena in downtown Denver including their season-long five-game home stand, but their competition only continues to get harder.
Denver will face nine teams; Boston Celtics, Minnesota Timberwolves (twice), Los Angeles Clippers (twice), Cleveland Cavaliers, Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, and Portland Trail Blazers, also, all these teams have a realistic shot at being in the postseason during this 12-game stretch.
