3 Reasons the Nuggets are still clear title favorites

2. The Nuggets’ Depth

The Nuggets might possess the most underrated core in the entire NBA. Due to not being a big market, people undersell how deep the team truly is. With one of the best starting lineups in the NBA, the Nuggets are a problem for anyone that might face them in a seven-game series.

If a player in the lineup is having an off night, they could bring in Bruce Brown and he could help alleviate those problems and bring in great defense and solid shooting.

While Jeff Green is older, he is still a reliable player off the bench and could still get up and posterize a defender if he has the chance to. The vet averages 7.9 points per game this season and is showing that father time is not stopping him from contributing.

The team’s newest acquisition, Thomas Bryant, may not get the minutes he had while he was on the Lakers and the Wizards, but he is still a good big man that could help the team in the minutes that Jokic sits, and he’ll make the team feel like they have a good chance at winning when he is not playing.
