Highlights
- The Denver Nuggets are the reigning champions and the team to beat in the NBA's Northwest Division and throughout the league.
- Despite their dominance, it won't be easy for the Nuggets to completely dominate the division, as other teams have playoff potential.
- The Timberwolves have a chance to improve this season with a healthy Karl-Anthony Towns and a partnership with Rudy Gobert, but their lack of success and injury history hold them back.
