5. Denver Nuggets
Even despite the fact that they’ve been without Michael Porter Jr. in the lineup recently, the Denver Nuggets haven’t missed much of a beat. They’ve won four straight and have some impressive wins over the last few games – including one against the Miami Heat.
They continue to sit close to the top of the Western Conference and they’re doing this without two of their top three players. It’s easy to forget that Jamal Murry is still out and there’s really no definitive timeline for him.
The fact that the Nuggets are still 8-4 without MPJ and Murray should tell you how dangerous this team can be when they’re fully healthy.
