Since the calendar turned to February, the Denver Nuggets have been on an absolute tear. With wins over OKC, Golden State, and San Antonio (twice) on their home court, the quality of the streak is not in doubt. Despite struggles on the road, they’ve taken care of business during this stretch and are an astounding 7-1 in their last eight games.
Nikola Jokic in particular has been a man possessed. The early favorite for Western Conference player of the month, Jokic has four triple-doubles this month and is averaging 22 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists in February.
