The great Denver Nuggets team that is perhaps the biggest surprise in the NBA has an excellent opportunity tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder to put distance between themselves and the teams that currently sit behind them in the Western conference.
They currently hold a 3 game lead over division foe and 3 seed OKC. A win tonight would be paramount as 4 games puts the pressure on while 2 suggests they’re nipping at the Nuggets heals.
Luckily for Denver the stars are aligning as Paul Milsap has looked like an All-Star again averaging 21 pts and 14 rebounds in his last three games.
