3. Denver Nuggets (23-11)
The Denver Nuggets continue to impress as they await the return of a few of their most rotation players, who are out with injuries. The hope is that Will Barton and Gary Harris will return in the next week or so, and that Paul Millsap isn’t too far behind.
The fact that this team has been able to remain on top of the West despite their injuries is quite impressive, and should tell us everything we need to know about this team and whether they are a real threat in the conference.
It may still sound a bit weird to hear, but the Nuggets will be a factor in the playoffs. That’s not something that I would’ve believed before the season. Amazing.
