With NBA 2K20 officially releasing today, I wanted to take a semi-deep dive into how the video game rated our Denver Nuggets. 2K’s ratings seem to paint Denver as a 4-6 seed in the west despite only finishing behind the loaded Warriors last season. Denver brought back all their major contributors and will be adding Jerami Grant and Michael Porter Jr. to their rotation. I see no reason why their roster should reflect a middle of the pack playoff team. So, if you’re wondering why most of my ratings are higher than 2K’s, it is because I think of the 2019-2020 Denver Nuggets as a budding contender.
