5. Denver Nuggets (10-6)
Last week: 5
The Denver Nuggets have struggled a bit over the last week, or so, but this is a team that has some of the best young, promising players on the roster. They recently elected to move Jamal Murray, one of those players, to the bench.
That was one of the most interesting developments of the week, and it’s going to be interesting to see if this decision to get more defensive in the team’s starting lineup pans out.
It’s going to be interesting to see if the Nuggets can maintain this level of play over the course of the next few weeks and months. This is a team that has a history of flaming out and always falling short.
