Since Jamal Murray tore his ACL, the Denver Nuggets have went 9-1 and overtaken the Clippers for the 3rd seed in the West.

When bubble superhero Jamal Murray was lost for the season with an ACL tear, many regarded it as a devastating setback for the budding Denver Nuggets that needed to take advantage of every season of prime Jokic it can get. This year was more or less written off as a lost season.

Instead the Nuggets have caught fire, ripping off their best 10 game stretch of the season. With tonight's win over the Clippers, the Nuggets have overtaken them for the 3 seed.

Ironically, this might actually be a bad thing as the Lakers dropped to the 6 seed with the Mavericks win tonight.
