There were a lot of times this season in which things looked pessimistic for the Nuggets, particularly after Jokic's injury, but it seems like they're hitting their stride heading into the playoffs.

Denver has now won seven straight, and even if most of those were against bad teams, a win is a win. With Luka now out for the remainder of the regular season, can the Nuggets catch the Lakers and avoid OKC until the conference finals? Would you rather face the Thunder or Spurs in the second round?
