2. Denver Nuggets
With the moves that some of the other Western Conference teams made, everyone seems to be forgetting about the Denver Nuggets who have the best record in the conference. The Nuggets have been the best team in the West so far this season but it’s also no surprise that many are questioning their ability to win a championship.
For one, this is a team that has struggled with injuries at the worst possible time. But if Jamal Murray, Nikola Jokic, Michael Porter Jr., and Aaron Gordon can remain healthy, this might finally be the year for the Nuggets.
Denver will have a tough road to make it to the NBA Finals, especially with the additions that the Clippers, Mavs, and Suns made at the trade deadline, but let’s not forget about the Nuggets when talking about the best teams in the league.
