13. Denver Nuggets

In each of the last two seasons, the Denver Nuggets have been extremely close to breaking through and punching their ticket to the postseason in the Western Conference. But this could finally be the year for the Nuggets.

After re-signing Will Barton this summer, and adding potentially the biggest steal of the 2018 NBA Draft, Michael Porter Jr., the Nuggets will have a great shot at being one of the top 8 teams in the West.

In the end, it might just come down to health. Had Paul Millsap not missed a good chunk of the season, the Nuggets probably make the playoffs. If this team is healthy for the majority of the year, this is a playoff roster.
