The Denver Nuggets will play the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday, and that will mark the halfway point on the season. That means it’s a good time for some midseason awards!

With the official halfway point of the NBA season coming for the Denver Nuggets when they take on the Spurs on Thursday night, now seems an appropriate time to dish out some midseason awards.

These awards will be exclusive to the Denver Nuggets roster, as I adjudicate which player has been the MVP of the team thus far, who has been the premier defender, which bench player has been our best sixth man, who has been most improved, and, of course, who has had the best bench celebrations. (Spoiler alert: It’s Malik Beasley by a landslide).

Some of these awards are obvious, while others are certainly up for debate. That is why, I will provide a runner-up in each category and offer up an argument for other candidates.

Be sure to hit us up on twitter (@Nugg_Love) and me personally (@KyleStandfield) to let us know if you agree or disagree with our selections!

Without further ado, let’s get into it.
