The Denver Nuggets are at the midway point of the NBA season with a 28-13 record. Several players have exceeded expectations, especially given the injury situations, in order to help Denver achieve a 56-win pace. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray are the easy candidates, but several other players have helped Denver get where they need to go.
