The 2018-2019 NBA season feels just a touch more special, a touch more important to Denver Nuggets fans. After two straight years of missing the playoffs by a single game, this year finally feels like the one that Denver returns to the postseason. Everyone who the Nuggets expected to be healthy is healthy. They survived the five game preseason gauntlet without anything but a couple nicks and bruises. They haven’t made any big free agent additions, at least not ones who are going to play right away with Isaiah Thomas still on the shelf, but the Nuggets are banking on a healthy Paul Millsap and another year under the belt for Nikola Jokic, Gary Harris and Jamal Murray as enough to push them over the top.
