The Denver Nuggets have emerged as the top team in recent NBA power rankings, securing the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference after winning 4 in a row. This achievement comes after a strong performance post-All-Star break, with the Nuggets winning 10 out of 11 games and outscoring opponents by 13.5 points-per-100, positioning them a half-game up on OKC. Their success has been highlighted in various rankings, including those by The Athletic, Sports Illustrated, and The Ringer, which placed Nikola Jokic at the top of its Top 100 NBA players list. With the regular season nearing its end, the Nuggets' position strengthens their postseason prospects, while other teams like the Timberwolves and Warriors have faced challenges. The NBA landscape continues to shift as teams vie for playoff positions, with the Nuggets leading the charge.
Updated BB ref projected standings this morning: 1. Top 3 is TIGHT. Will likely be decided by the 3 DEN/MIN games & if OKC can take care of business 2. Clips/Pels 4/5 seems super likely. 3. LAL/GSW back down to clearly in 9/10 after they’d both made a recent push to move up. https://t.co/IQhVeHDXyV
