Well lets see

>Lakers
Nuggets lose since JJ has Jokic figured out and they have a real center now
>Clippers
Got taken to 7 by them and they're massively better. Nuggets lose
>Timberwolves
ANT and Mcdaniels own them. Nuggets lose
>Spurs
Wemby has embarrassed Jokic on many occasions, and cucked him out of the 1 seed in his rookie year.. Nuggets lose
>Mavericks
50/50. Jokic owns AD but Mavs have the better supporting cast. If Kyrie comes back anywhere close to his pre injury self, Nuggets lose
>Rockets
Murray owns them, but KD + Sengoon/Amen growth could be a difference maker. Nuggets probably still favored.
>GSW
Kerr figured them out during the last matchup. If they move Kuminga for real depth, Nuggets lose. Otherwise Nuggets favored.
>OKC
Needed Jdub with a torn wrist ligament, Chet coming back from a broken hip, and inexperience to even come close. Ajay Mitchell and maybe Topic will be ready this year for the playoffs so Shai won't have the same playmaking load he did before as the only PG. Add in Sorber as another center to throw at Jokic and it's a wash. Nuggets lose.

You have 2/8 paths past the first round and are almost guaranteed to lose afterwards. Nuggets are cooked unless everyone gets injured and they can get 4 more playin teams to play against like during their *
