NBA Fantasy Basketball: Denver Nuggets 2025-26 season preview.
Nikola Jokic’s first overall draft value is under scrutiny due to the Nuggets’ playoff schedule. Jamal Murray looks like a major draft-day bargain, while players like Cam Johnson may be going too high.

Josh Lloyd, host of the Locked On Fantasy Basketball Podcast, breaks down the Denver Nuggets’ fantasy outlook — including Jokic, Murray, Aaron Gordon, and breakout candidates like Julian Strawther. He highlights undervalued and overvalued players, new arrivals, and key injury concerns.

Maximize your fantasy draft with this essential Nuggets analysis. Learn which players to target, avoid, and how Denver’s schedule impacts your league-winning strategy.
