Denver Nuggets News – 2013 Nuggets Updates
3/26/13 - The Denver Nuggets have moved into the No. 4 seed of the Western Conference. Before losing to the
Hornets in New Orleans last night, the Nuggets were on a 15-game winning streak. Six of Denver’s last ten games will be played at home. The avg. ticket price of Nuggets tickets for the remaining games? $82. The three most expensive games left in the season are against 3 teams who have also earned a playoff berth already – the
Brooklyn Nets ($112),
Houston Rockets ($100), and
San Antonio Spurs ($93).
Aside from second-year sensation Kenneth Faried, the Denver Nuggets took All-Star weekend off, but don't let their lack of star power fool you, the Nuggets have plenty of talent. The rest seems to have helped the up-tempo squad as they defeated the Boston Celtics in their first game back after the break. As the team starts to push toward the postseason, we ask ourselves, "How can the Nuggets get past the first round of the NBA Playoffs?" Denver has been eliminated in the first round of the NBA Playoffs the past three years and nine times in the last 18 years. The Nuggets are 2-1 this season against the Utah Jazz who beat them in the first round of the 2010 NBA Playoffs; they're 1-1 vs. Oklahoma City who squatted their chances of advancing past the first round in 2011; and up 2-1 on the Lakers who beat them in seven games last year.
The Nuggets currently sit in the No. 5 seed of the Western Conference but need to move up one spot in order to secure home-court advantage. Playing at home this year has certainly been an advantage as the team has only lost three games at
Pepsi Center to date. Home-court advantage in the first round could definitely help the team get over the hump. Future hoops to jump through on the Denver Nuggets schedule? They'll play the
Oklahoma City Thunder, the
Los Angeles Clippers, and the
New York Knicks - all at the Pepsi Center in Denver.
Denver Nuggets tickets are averaging $21 less than the League average of $117. And aside from five home games in the 2012-2013 regular season, the get-in prices were $20 or less. The most expensive Nuggets tickets were both against the Lakers - Denver Nuggets tickets for the December 26 game averaged $241, Nuggets tickets for the February 25 game averaged $229. The cheapest Nuggets game ticket was against the Toronto Rapids back in December, averaging just $46.
