Golden State Warriors: Top 5 biggest threats to the throne

4. Denver Nuggets

Another young team that is on the rise is the Denver Nuggets. Denver has a great collection of potential stars and is off to a hot start to begin the 2018-19 season. Currently, the Nuggets have a 9-2 record and are the second seed in the Western Conference.

The Nuggets are an extremely balanced team. As of now, they have four different players averaging 15+ points per game and two more averaging 10+. Jamal Murray and Garry Harris currently lead the team with 18.5 points a night each. Murray is fresh off a career-high 48 points versus the Boston Celtics.

Then, you have a very talented big man, Nikola Jokic. He has proven to be one of the best young big’s in the league. Jokic has started off the season with an average of 15.8 points, 9.7 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game.

The most exciting thing about this team is that all three of their star players are under the age of 25. This team is just getting started and will be a force to be reckoned with within a few years.
