DENVER SCOUTING REPORT
The Denver Nuggets were already a top team in the Western Conference behind the play of MVP contender Nikola Jokic (26.3 points, 10.9 rebounds, 8.8 assists) and Jamal Murray (21.3 points, 4.8 assists), sitting comfortably in the top four teams in the conference. But on the March 25 NBA Trade Deadline, the Nuggets made a deal to acquire forward and San Jose native Aaron Gordon, thereby adding to their front court depth. Gordon has started each of his seven games with his new club and has played just short of 30 minutes a night. The team is riding an eight-game winning streak and averaging 115 points per game headed into Sunday night’s game against the Boston Celtics, and have a chance to move their way into the No. 3 spot in the West.
