6. Denver Nuggets
Marquee summer move: Michael Porter Jr. getting healthy
Coming off a historic season for the team, the Denver Nuggets are entering the 2019-20 NBA season with high expectations. The vast majority expect the Nuggets to make the Western Conference Semifinals, if not the Western Conference Finals, at the very least. Now that Michael Porter Jr. is healthy, all eyes should be on this team this year.
A core of Jamal Murry, Nikola Jokic, Gary Harris, and MPJ is an exciting one. Don’t forget Will Barton and Paul Millsap, two key veterans that will have a big impact on this team’s success this season. The Nuggets could be in line to surprise the masses this season.
Considering the moves that the Lakers and Clippers both made this past summer, the Nuggets making the NBA Finals would be considered as an upset to the casual fan. Although, those of us that know this team well know just how dangerous this roster can be.
