NBA: 5 teams that surpassed expectations during the 2018-19 season

Denver Nuggets

Entering this season, many expected the Denver Nuggets to improve this season, especially with the young core that they have, but I don’t think anyone really expected this team to be a top 2 team in the Western Conference. And that’s exactly what this team has been consistently this season.

At least for just the regular season, the Nuggets have been one of the best teams in the league. Perhaps they might not have the playoff experience to make a real deep run in the post-season this year, but 2018-19 has to be deemed a success already.

Led by Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Gary Harris, the Nuggets have a bright future ahead of them and they’re barely scratching the surface of what this team could eventually be down the line.
