Denver Nuggets
The Denver Nuggets were not only the class of the NBA Northwest Division this season, but of the NBA’s Western Conference overall. Denver finish first in the West, riding their incredible home court advantage to one of the best seasons in team history. The question for the Nuggets will now be whether or not they can deliver in the postseason with Nikola Jokic leading them.
Minnesota Timberwolves
There was one other playoff team to come from the Northwest Division, with that being the Minnesota Timberwolves. Minnesota earned the eighth seed in the Western Conference, needing to win in the play-in tournament to get there. While there are clearly some flaws with this team, with the Rudy Gobert trade not going as planned, Minnesota still has talent in the form of Anthony Edwards of Karl-Anthony Towns to lead them.
Portland Trail Blazers
Things are just not getting better for the Portland Trail Blazers. They missed the postseason again this year, sitting Damian Lillard down the stretch once they fell out of contention. Their tanking efforts late in the season were simply incredible, as they gave heavy minutes to players whose presence in the NBA could be described as questionable. After wasting another year of the careers of several quality players, the Trail Blazers need to turn things around quickly.
Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz performed better than expected this past season. They missed the playoffs, but they showed some flashes in the form of Lauri Markkanen, Jordan Clarkson, and Walker Kessler. Utah is in an interesting spot, as they are clearly not title contenders as currently constructed, but there is a decent foundation to build on.
Oklahoma City Thunder
Oklahoma City came up just one game short from making the first round of the NBA Playoffs, losing the final game of the play-in tournament to the Minnesota Timberwolves. With rookie big man Chet Holmgren missing the entire season due to injury, this team took their first real steps forward in a long time. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander became a legitimate all-NBA performer, and this team could compete long-term with their current nucleus, which is exciting.
