Why the Engine Rates Denver Nuggets This Way

OFFENCE98DEFENCE32NET78HOME77AWAY87

Denver Nuggets finished 54–28 in the 2025–26 regular season, 3rd in the Western Conference.

They scored 122.1 a game, 1st of 30, against a league average of 115.6. At the other end they conceded 116.9 — 21st best in the league, where the average team gives up 115.6.

That leaves a net rating of +5.1 per game, 7th in the league. Net rating is the closest thing basketball has to a single honest number for how good a team is — it survives pace, schedule and garbage time better than a win-loss record does.

Home and away barely separate them — 28–13 at home against 26–15 on the road. A team that travels this well is harder to fade in either building.

Every axis is a percentile against the other 29 teams, computed at page load from the 2025–26 regular season only — preseason and playoffs are excluded so the record, the rates and the ratings all describe the same games. Pace, true shooting and rebound rate are not shown because this site does not yet store possession data, and a grade with nothing behind it is worth less than none.
