Denver Nuggets are a threat to the West because they have the best player on the planet, Nikola Jokic.
However, when Jamal Murray plays his peak next to Jokic, Denver looks like the team that won a ring just a few years ago. We saw that Murray Wednesday evening when he dropped a 55 -point career summit on the Blazers trail during a Nuggets victory.

Murray struck, pulling 20 out of 36 to obtain her buckets. Nikola Jokic added a triple-double in the night of 26 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists. His game and Murray were sufficient to raise the nuggets to a 132-121 victory.
This is nine consecutive victories for Denver before the stars break, pushing the nuggets to the third to the west (and just half a match behind Memphis for the head of the N ° 2). Although Oklahoma City is clearly the team to beat in the West, Denver could be the biggest threat to them, especially if Murray continues to play like that.
