4. Denver Nuggets (38-18)
The Denver Nuggets have been one of the best teams in the Western Conference for much of the season, and I don’t think you can call their success this season as a fluke. They are real and one of the most dangerous teams heading into the NBA’s All-Star break.
The only team that appears more complete than the Nuggets at this point in the season is the Warriors, predictably. But if there’s any room for another team to snag away the West title away from Golden State’s hands, it’s the Nuggets.
They don’t have many weaknesses on their roster, with really the only one being their lack of experience on the biggest of stages. But, sometimes that’s a bit overrated by most fans. Could the Nuggets shake the NBA world this season?
