The Denver Nuggets are certainly an intriguing team to keep an eye on down the final stretch of the regular season.
Right now, they are on a three-game skid as they hold a 47-31 record as the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference, though they are eerily close to sliding even further.
In the Nuggets’ past ten games played, they’ve posted a 4-6 record. The heroics of Nikola Jokic can only get the squad so far, and the club is certainly feeling the effects of that right now.
Still, the Serbian superstar is having a brilliant season, averaging 29.8 points, 12.8 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game — better than his three MVP-winning seasons.
Having already delivered Denver a championship in his illustrious career, Jokic is just continuing to add to his remarkable resume he’s built as a former second-round pick.
Recently, he made more history, passing Will Barton to become third on the Nuggets’ all-time 3-pointers list.
While it’s not as eye-popping as some of the other statistics he puts up or records he breaks — such as his recent 60-point triple-double — it’s another benchmark of how great he’s been with the club.
Nuggets make four-word Jokic announcement
Jokic is continuing to solidify himself as the greatest player to suit up in a Nuggets jersey. After recently climbing to third on the all-time 3-pointers list with 807 makes, Denver sent a four-word message.
“Rising in the ranks,” the Nuggets announced.

That’s exactly what Jokic has done with NBA records, team records and just about any record he can work towards — he’s climbed the ranks.
The Serbian is going to go down as an all-time great, and the last thing the Nuggets will want to do is waste any years with a mediocre supporting cast around him.
