The defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets are dominating as expected as they will attempt to become the first team to win back-to-back titles since the 2018 Golden State Warriors. NBA MVP candidate Nikola Jokic is averaging 29 points, 15.3 rebounds, and 10 assists per game. This is a team that will have a great shot to make it all the way again.

1. Minnesota Timberwolves

And if this is the version of Anthony Edwards the league will have to deal with for the foreseeable future, then they should be very afraid. The Minnesota Timberwolves have arrived.
