Denver Nuggets
2 roto titles · 50 seasons (1976-77–2025-26)
Twice in 50 seasons, the Denver Nuggets have finished a season as Roto Champ, the last of them in 1988-89. They came back to back, from 1987-88 to 1988-89, a single roster’s peak rather than sustained success. Their average finish is 10.4 all time, against 7.8 over the last ten seasons, so the recent decade has been the better one.
The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to Nikola Jokić in 2020-21, worth a 20.6 z-score. He owns 10 of the franchise’s 50 best seasons outright.
