NBA Power Rankings: Miami Heat is fading; Boston Celtics rising

14. Denver Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets, led by Nikola Jokic, have managed to stay afloat in the Western Conference this season with Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. out with injuries. The big question for this team heading into the playoffs is whether or not either one of them will be back before the start of them.

13. Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cleveland Cavaliers have struggled over the past couple of weeks without Jarrett Allen, but the hope is that he will be back for the postseason. It’s been a great season for the Cavs but it’s looking more and more like they will be subjected to a first-round playoff exit.

Still, all in all, this will go down as a successful season.
