The Denver Nuggets will rule the Northwest division from their perch atop the mountain

The Northwest division is one of the most interesting divisions in basketball. The Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz are among the best teams in the Western Conference, and the Portland Trailblazers are always fun to watch. Even the Minnesota Timberwolves and Oklahoma City Thunder have bright futures.

Utah Jazz: Over/under 52.5 wins

The Jazz were the best team in the NBA last regular season. They rely on Rudy Gobert to protect the rim on defense and collapse opposing defenses with his vertical spacing on offense.
