4. Denver Nuggets
At least to me, the Denver Nuggets are one of the most intriguing teams in the Western Conference. This could be their season to finally break out and make it to the NBA Finals, especially considering how wide-open the conference appears to be at the moment.
The team’s big four of Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr., and Aaron Gordon appear to be one of the best in the league. Now that this team appears to finally be healthy, the sky is the limit for Denver. And they can’t afford to waste health.
It’ll be interesting to see where they finish during the regular season in the West. With the way the first 20-ish games have gone, there’s a good chance that they could finish with the top record heading into the playoffs.
