One night, the Nuggets are losing their fifth in a row, looking like the straw has finally broken the camel’s back. The next? They put up 140 points against an above .500 team, frankly embarrassing the Indiana Pacers in London. Nikola Jokic, in spite of the losing lately, has been introduced into the starting lineup and completely changed the team during the last 12 games. The team is playing incredibly offensively now, and if they can continue to improve moderately on defense, the playoffs are still a possibility.
The Orlando Magic have the 27th ranked offense and the 20th ranked defense on the season, and not much has changed the past month.
