Looking around the landscape of the NBA (and the Western Conference in particular) today, it’s easy to let Denver go unnoticed. The Lakers are basking in star power, the Jazz are winners of 19 of 21, the Bucks continue to be a dominant force. Couple this with the plague of injuries the Nuggets are facing and it makes sense that they haven’t cracked the top five.
Still, the Nuggets are sitting with a phenomenal 32-14 record. Jokic is dominant, and Michael Porter Jr. is giving everyone a taste of just how good he can be.
