Nuggets Cup matchups worth watching
The Denver Nuggets face Phoenix Suns, Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, and Utah Jazz in the Cup games listed above. Here’s what makes those matchups worth a closer look.
Nuggets vs. Suns: Booker’s midrange craft meets Murray’s screen game
The Nuggets visit the Phoenix Suns on Fri, Oct 30 at Mortgage Matchup Center.
Devin Booker and Jamal Murray can both punish a defender who trails a screen, but Denver’s Nikola Jokic adds a passing dimension Phoenix must account for. Does the Suns defender chase Murray, switch, or leave space for a pull-up? At the other end, Booker’s ability to stop short of the rim tests Denver’s positioning rather than simply its shot-blocking.

The Nuggets host the Houston Rockets on Fri, Nov 20 at Ball Arena.
Nikola Jokic and Alperen Sengun can each run an offense through the center position, using touch and footwork to make a defender commit. Their comparison is about the next pass as much as the post move. Amen Thompson’s cutting gives Houston a target behind a ball-watching defense. Denver must track that movement without giving Sengun a comfortable one-on-one finish.

The Nuggets host the Dallas Mavericks on Tue, Nov 24 at Ball Arena.
Dereck Lively II gives Dallas a vertical threat around the basket, while Nikola Jokic can create chances from almost anywhere in the half court. Lively must account for the ball and the cutter at once. Aaron Gordon’s baseline movement makes ball-watching costly. At the opposite end, Dallas can try to make Jokic defend repeated rolls rather than let Denver organize around a stationary center.

The Nuggets visit the Utah Jazz on Fri, Nov 27 at Delta Center.
Aaron Gordon is dangerous when a defender looks toward Nikola Jokic and loses the baseline cutter. Jaren Jackson Jr.’s shot-blocking makes that attention understandable, but Utah cannot let help become a free finish behind the play. Watch Jokic’s eyes and Gordon’s starting position: the pass often becomes available before the cutter appears open to the crowd.
