The 2026-27 season is only 0 games old for the Denver Nuggets, so this section reads 2025-26 until they reach 10. The table above has both seasons.
The Denver Nuggets were one of the most-bet teams in the NBA in 2025-26: #2 of 30, with 60.9% of spread tickets on average and the public side (60%+ of bets) in 43 of 80 games. On the spread that is not just a matter of being favored: the side with 60%+ of the bets is the favorite only about 6 times in 10, so a team's popularity shows up here too.
Against the spread they went 44-36, and 22-21 as the public side. Their share of the money (58.7%) tracked their share of the tickets closely, so big and small bettors saw them the same way.
None of this is a pick. Across the league over the last two seasons, the side with 60% or more of spread bets covered about half the time, not enough to beat the bookmaker's margin by backing it or fading it. See tonight's NBA splits →

Yes. They ranked #2 of 30 by average share of spread bets in 2025-26. In the NBA that is only partly about being favored: when 60% or more of spread bets land on one side, that side is the favorite only about 6 times in 10, so popularity counts as well as the price. The Lakers drew the biggest share of spread bets of any team in both of the last two seasons.

Not on the split alone. Across the league over the last two seasons, the side with 60% or more of spread bets covered 49% to 50% of the time, which is not enough to beat the bookmaker's margin from either side.
