Everything is aligning for Nuggets to surge through final stretch into playoffs
Denver Nuggets, Nikola Jokic | Ron Chenoy-Imagn ImagesThe sky didn't fall for the Denver Nuggets when Christian Braun got hurt, when Aaron Gordon got hurt, or when Cam Johnson got hurt. It didn't fall when Nikola Joki\u0107 suffered the first major injury of his NBA career and missed several weeks. It didn't fall when Gordon got hurt again, nor when Peyton Watson went down with a hamstring injury.
With nine games left in the regular season, the Nuggets have a clean injury report (Gordon and Watson won't play against Dallas due to injury management). They sit No. 4 in the West with a half-game lead over the No. 5 Timberwolves, and a one-game lead over the No. 6 Rockets.
