Denver’s preseason opener hinted at which Nuggets may be the team’s most attractive draft options going into this season of fantasy basketball.

Fantasy leagues are forming, and draft night is on its way. While many may turn their nose up at the idea of drafting any players from the Nuggets, their preseason opener hinted at which Nuggets players may be worth a look.

Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) have also become quite popular among sports fans of all types, and this may be the more attractive fantasy-venue for Nuggets players to be used in. The short-term commitment is much less intimidating, and the risk vs. reward takes a positive swing.

But regardless of your preferred fantasy platform, several Denver Nuggets players may be worth considering.

Remember, these fantasy evaluations are based off of only one preseason game. Nothing is set in stone, or even close to it. It is still far too early to know for sure. But from what we’ve seen so far, a handful of players seem poised for great year of fantasy production
