Denver Nuggets
Record: 14-7
Grade: A
It’s hard to dislike or even complain about what the Denver Nuggets have managed to accomplish through the first quarter of the season. Even without one of their most important players, Will Barton who has missed a good chunk of this season due to injury.
The Nuggets currently have the second least losses in the Western Conference, and Denver currently has the 8th best offense and third best defense in the NBA right now. They are hitting on all cylinders and are looking more and more like a shoe-in to make a return to the playoffs.
The Nuggets will only get better as the season continues to unwind, and could be one of the real dark horses in the West this season.
