Rotation:

PG: Jamal Murray/Russell Westbrook/Jalen Pickett

SG: Christian Braun/Julian Strawther/Trey Alexander

SF: Michael Porter Jr/Hunter Tyson/Peyton Watson

PF: Aaron Gordon/Dario Saric/Vlakto Cancar

C: Nikola Jokic/DeAndre Jordan/Zeke Nnaji

Team Profile:

Nikola Jokic is easily the best player in the NBA, and the Nuggets have a supporting cast built to his strengths. Jamal Murray and MPJ both have been solid co-stars for Jokic, and Aaron Gordon is a solid 3 & D wing. Christian Braun rounds out the starting 5. The bench looks retooled, with Russell Westbrook being added, but outside of Westbrook, the Nuggets don’t have many guys that stand out.

Strengths:

Starpower

Balance

Chemistry

Weaknesses:

Bench

Depth

Analysis:

Just 1 injury could derail the Nuggets again. However, if everybody stays healthy, they are a Finals contender.

Record: 56-26, 3rd in Northwest, 4th in West
