Denver Nuggets
Having climbed into the third slot of the West the Nuggets appear poised to bring a similar effort as what they displayed en route to the championship.
With the youngsters improving and Jamal Murray returning to form the Nuggets were one of the few West contending teams not to make a big move at the deadline. This begs the question of whether the team is resting Murray to save him for the spring or if the knee is really acting up that much.

Free NBA Prediction:
I’m not sure how Coach Bud flips the script in Phoenix with two of his starters knowing the team actively shopped them. Sure these guys are professionals and it is part of the sport but they’re also stars who are used to being coveted by teams.
In contrast, the Nuggets holding firm at the deadline sends the message the front office is invested in the players and believes they can win with who they have (when in reality it could be simply about money).
Either way, I like the Nuggets to win and cover.
