The Denver Nuggets are a well-built team with depth and a championship mindset.
Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray displayed their skills and proved they are one of the best duos in the NBA.
The Golden State Warriors have made improvements, but their margin for error is smaller and they lack the same firepower as in previous years.
The Nuggets' success in the playoffs will depend on the health of Jamal Murray and their ability to match up against other teams.
The Warriors have shown improvements, but their best days are likely behind them. They could still be a good team with the right matchups.
