Denver Nuggets (50-32)29 of 30Bart Young/NBAE via Getty ImagesBeing in the Western Conference has to be among the primary reasons the Denver Nuggets' title odds are slightly longer than Cleveland's. On paper, it's hard to find another roster that's closer to the level of the Oklahoma City Thunder's. Denver has the best player in the world in Nikola Jokić, his championship-winning No. Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr. figure to be far more reliable than the revolving door of backup guards and wings from last season's team. And Jonas Valančiūnas, even at 33, is likely the best backup 5 of the Jokić era.
