The Denver Nuggets are currently riding a five-game winning streak, their second winning streak of at least four games this season. Denver’s defense continues to impress as it currently ranks sixth in the entire league.

With that being said, let’s check in with some power rankings from national media outlets to see where the Nuggets rank after a month of the regular season.
