As the Denver Nuggets attempt to navigate this treacherous NBA season through injury waters, COVID pitfalls, and several other potential hazards, several things have become clear:
- Nikola Jokiu0107 is fantastic, good enough to win a second straight MVP award
- The Nuggets miss Jamal Murray’s explosive scoring
- The bench is holding the Nuggets back
Now, there have been several games of late where the script has flipped a bit. The bench has had its moments carrying the starters through difficult times while the Nuggets have lost (or nearly lost) games they should be winning.
