In my opinion, the Denver Nuggets play in the most difficult division in basketball, and yes, even after Kevin Durant left, I still believe that. The Northwest Division consists of five basketball teams- the Portland Trail Blazers, Oklahoma City Thunder, Utah Jazz, Denver Nuggets, and Minnesota Timberwolves.
Three of the Western Conference’s top six teams are in this division, according to ESPN’s Western Conference forecast. ESPN has Portland at four, Utah at five, Oklahoma City at six, and then they have the Minnesota Timberwolves at ten and the Denver Nuggets at twelve.
