Following an eventful week full of trades and players returning from injury, the Denver Nuggets find themselves in second place in the Western Conference at 37-16 as the final week before the 2020 All-Star break begins.
Despite being shorthanded throughout the week (most notably in their win over the Utah Jazz on the second night of a back-to-back), the Nuggets went 3-0 last week as they continue to cement themselves as true playoff contenders.
Nikola Jokiu0107 has been playing at an MVP-caliber level while Jamal Murray has shot the lights out in his three games back. Paul Millsap joined in on the action on Saturday as he provided a double-double off the bench for Denver as it won in Phoenix.
