Denver Nuggets

Their young trio 

After a hot start the Denver Nuggets have fallen off a bit over the last couple of weeks, but make no mistake this is a team that will have a shot at finally breaking through and making it back to the NBA Playoffs this season.

And a big reason why is because of their young trio, which is one of the best young cores in the NBA. Led by Nikola Jokic, Gary Harris and Jamal Murray, who are all averaging at least 17 points per game this season, the Nuggets can hang with any team in the NBA – they already have a victory over the Warriors this year.

The great thing about this team is that this team is still getting better and Michael Porter Jr. hasn’t even played a minute in the NBA yet. The young talent on this team is absurd.
