Roundtable: Where is the Nuggets ceiling?

Gage Bridgford (@GbridgfordNFL): My expectations haven’t changed for one simple reason. Health. Out of 23 games this season, Denver’s most-used lineup, Jamal Murray, Gary Harris, Will Barton, Paul Millsap and Nikola Jokic, has played in just 16 games together for 250 minutes. Jokic, Barton, Millsap and Monte Morris are the only four players out of the 16 that have touched the floor that have played in every game. When this team had a largely healthy rotation, they rattled off five wins in six games including wins over the Utah Jazz and back-to-back victories against the Phoenix Suns.
