Their battle through two tie-breakers in the final round drew comparisons to the showdown between Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins in 1988.

2019–20 season
On December 4, 2019, Gordon scored a season-high 32 points, alongside five rebounds and five assists, in a 128–114 win over the Phoenix Suns.[62] Gordon was runner-up in the Slam Dunk Contest to Derrick Jones Jr. during the 2020 NBA All-Star Weekend. They both had perfect scores in their first two dunks in the second round, forcing an overtime round. After they both earned perfect scores on their initial dunks, Jones won by scoring a 48 after taking off just past the free throw line to complete a windmill dunk; Gordon received a 47 after dunking over 7-foot-5-inch (2.26 m) Tacko Fall.[63] On February 28, Gordon recorded his first career triple-double with 17 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists in a 136–125 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.[64] Despite the Magic qualifying for the playoffs for a second straight season, Gordon did not play in the team's first round series due to a hamstring injury he suffered in the NBA Bubble.

On March 25, 2021, Gordon and Gary Clark were traded to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for Gary Harris, R. J. Hampton, and a future first-round pick.[69] Gordon had played and started in 25 games and was averaging 14.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 29 minutes of action while shooting 37.5% from three-point range with the Magic for the season.[70] On March 28, he made his Nuggets debut in a 126–102 win against the Atlanta Hawks, logging 13 points and two rebounds in 21 minutes of action.[71][72][73] The Nuggets qualified for the playoffs, but they lost in four games to the Phoenix Suns during the Western Conference Semifinals.[74]
On January 11, 2022, Gordon scored a season-high 30 points, alongside 12 rebounds, in a 85–87 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.[75] During the first round of the playoffs, the Nuggets lost in five games to the eventual champions, the Golden State Warriors.[76]
During the 2022–23 season, Gordon was discussed as a potential NBA All-Star selection. However, he ultimately wasn't selected.[77][78] In Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals, Gordon scored 23 points on 9-of-13 shooting, 3-of-4 from three, 2-of-2 from the free throw line in a 125–107 win over the Phoenix Suns.[79] In Game 4 of the 2023 NBA Finals, Gordon scored a playoff career-high 27 points on 11-of-15 shooting in a 108–95 victory over the Miami Heat.[80] The Nuggets went on to win 94–89 in Game 5 to make Gordon an NBA champion.

The following season saw him miss multiple games after being bitten by a dog in his face and hands.[82][83] In Game 3 of the Nuggets' first round playoffs series against the Los Angeles Lakers, Gordon posted playoff career-highs with 29 points and 15 rebounds in a 112–105 win.[84] In Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Gordon logged 27 points on 11-for-12 shooting, two shy of matching his playoff career-high, alongside six rebounds and six assists, in a winning effort.[85] Denver would go on to lose to Minnesota in seven games.[86]
Prior to the 2024–25 season, Gordon switched his jersey number from 50 to 32 to honor his late older brother Drew Gordon, who wore No. 32 before he died in May 2024.[87] On October 21, 2024, Gordon and the Nuggets agreed to a four–year, $133 million contract extension.[88][89]
