Game Preview

The Denver Nuggets are a No. 1 seed for the first time since joining the NBA, but the franchise knows the perils of being the Western Conference’s top team.

Denver became the first No. 8 seed to win a series when it upset the Seattle SuperSonics in 1994. The Nuggets were playing without pressure that season, but they have to face the burden of expectations in 2023.

They will start dealing with those expectations when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series on Sunday night.
