The Denver Nuggets are looking to build on October’s 6-1 start. Here are some predictions for November’s schedule and opponents.

After a scorching hot October, Denver Nuggets fans are left with an unfamiliar feeling: confidence. Their squad missed the playoffs by one game in each of the past two seasons, but something feels very different this year. The Nuggets’ offense is one year wiser, and its defense is less unsettling. Will the Denver faithful’s suffering finally come to an end?

November is an important month for the 2018-19 campaign. Denver can establish itself as a revitalized squad headed in a new direction, or this can simply be a hot start to an otherwise disappointing season. Can Nikola Jokic and company steer this bus in the right direction?

Jokic and Gary Harris played particularly well throughout October. Other sources, like guard Monte Morris, stepped up and provided a lift. Jamal Murray displayed strong spurts, despite some inconsistencies. Will Barton Isaiah Thomas and Michael Porter Jr will contribute once healthy.

This season, PA announcer Kyle Speller kicks off player introductions with an enthusiastic, “This is our year babyyyy!” By all indications, he is correct. Let’s dive into November predictions and expectations, since this may be an important month for the Nuggets.
