Earlier today, the NBA released the full 2026-27 schedule. The Denver Nuggets play a high number of primetime games and have parts of the schedule that are very tough; however, the schedule itself is much, much better than it was in the 2025-26 season.
With fewer one-game home and road games, more extended trips, fewer back-to-backs, and other positive indicators, the Nuggets might be able to say they benefitted from their schedule by the end of this season.
On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn reacts to the Denver Nuggets 2026-27 schedule release. He breaks down the important games, the easiest and most difficult stretches, and circles the Top 10 games on the calendar for Denver Nuggets fans to know.
