Denver Nuggets is managing to play a great role in this 2021/22 NBA season. The Colorado franchise is in sixth place in the Western Conference with a record of 30-25, a very meritorious situation considering that they have spent the entire course without being able to compete with two of their stars: Jamal Murray Y Michael Porter Jr.
The Nuggets are using an outstanding level by the current NBA MVP, Nikola Jokic, and the contributions of very good squires such as Aaron Gordon, Will Barton or rookie Bones Hyland.
But it is also expected that the Denver Nuggets take a key step when it comes to becoming full candidates for the ring in the Western Conference. As The Denver Post has advanced, the franchise is already planning the return of precisely Murray and Porter Jr. The expected date is just before the arrival of the playoffs.
Regaining all his troops with the arrival of the ring qualifiers can be a very effective blow on the table on his part. The team, even so, has assured that it will be very cautious with the return of its two players. The injuries of Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr have been serious, and they want to take the minimum risks.

It is precisely this situation why Nikola Jokic is currently the favorite to win the MVP of the Season. It would be his second to him, and consecutively. Averaging 25.8 points, 13.6 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game, the Serbian is the player who is having the most positive impact on his respective team.
