The Denver Nuggets and their contemporaries around the league fired off obligatory schedule-release videos on Thursday, ranging from clever to trite, signifying the release of the full itinerary for the 2026-27 season.

At a distance, schedule analysis is a laughable endeavor. Every team has to play each other, and divisional appetites must be satiated. But the travel schedule makes an impact, and as we saw last year, not all homestands or road trips are created equal.
Ultimately, this analysis is worthwhile, and to that end, here’s a cheat sheet outlining why this year’s schedule looks so favorable compared to last.
