4. Denver Nuggets (49-23)
The Denver Nuggets might finish with the best record in the Western Conference when this season is over and done with, but they’re still a team that I can see get upset in a potential first-round series.
The Nuggets don’t have the experience that some of the other playoff teams in the West have and find a hard time transiting to the playoff atmosphere. It’s not every year that a team that completely missed the playoffs the year before soars to the No. 1 seed.
That presents some issues with the Nuggets and what to fairly expect from them in the post-season.
