The Denver Nuggets have been balling all year long, and their superstar Nikola Jokic leads them. He is one of the favorites to win the MVP award and he has been playing exceptionally all year long. And he is doing it without his co-star, Jamal Murray.

The Nuggets are currently sixth in the West and are one of the contenders. They are a good team, but the Joker alone has to handle most of the load. The other top teams, like the Phoenix Suns and the Golden State Warriors, have multiple options, and a deep squad. The Nuggets have quality role players but they do not have a secondary star. However, that could all change as some huge news about their star shooting guard comes in.
