The Denver Nuggets have solidified themselves as one of the most pleasant surprises in the Western Conference this season.
They started off the regular season by winning their first stretch of games which resulted in them having a 9-3 win loss record for awhile.
Then, adversity hit as they were hit hard by the injury bug losing key players in Will Barton to a core injury, Gary Harris to a hip injury and Paul Millsap to a broken toe to add to the losses of Isaiah Thomas (hip) and their lottery draft pick, Michael Porter Jr (back).
