The Nuggets 2-man game with Jokic/Murray is the only reason they beat Utah or the Clippers. They are absolutely ****ed.
Jamal Murray Injured

Denver is set to play the Lakers in the 1st round currently.
Both Phoenix and Clippers are on hot streaks, so it seems unlikely Denver or LA will move into the top 3.
It's hard to see Portland or Dallas overtaking Denver or LA. Denver will be hurt, but they can still be a very good regular season team without Murray. LA has been playing surprisingly well without their stars.

Man, these things are going to happen regardless of how much you play. This can happen game 1 of the season or the last game of the season. Injuries happen regardless.
No, they don't.

Tell that to Deron Williams' ankles.

Phoenix playe 10 of 13 on the road to finish the season. Two of those home games are against the Jazz and Clippers. The Suns will be third or worse.
Seeding is looking pretty set, those last few playin spots still up in the air, but not super consequential (knock on wood).
1 Utah
2/3 Suns/Clippers
4/5 Nuggets/Lakers
6 Blazers
7 Mavs
8 Grizzlies
9 Spurs
10 Warriors
11 Pelicans
Would probably most like to see the Spurs of the bottom 4-some, but if we get seriously pushed by any of them then we weren't who we hoped we were (outside of maybe Steph/Dray re-capturing all the old magic). 2nd round against the Lakers will be prove it time.

Or Hayward’s.
I dont get your point. D-Will's ankles got ****ed cuz he kept playing on them and he played a heavier weight than he probably should have.
Injuries dont happen in a vacuum. The shortened season with less rest is 99% likely making more injuries happen.
Injuries happen but if every team that went to conference finals last year have long-term injuries, there is something to be said about scheduling. Also not these kind of injuries, non-contact injuries are mostly wear and tear.
Deron kept playing in Turkey in the lockout, though.
