#1 Denver Nuggets
Well, it had to end sooner rather than later. The Nuggets remarkable 4 game winning streak finally came to an end against the Clippers. I still am not quite sure how Denver managed to beat the Grizzlies, Thunder, Raptors, and Mavericks one after the other with all the injuries.
They finally lost to the Clippers after losing Nikola Jokic to an ejection in the 3rd quarter and that was one too many guys missing for them to stand a chance to win the game. The big man was on a tear during their unlikely winning run, averaging 27.2 Points and 13.2 rebounds over those 4 games and if he had played the entirety of the Clippers game, maybe they would have won that one too.

The schedule does get kinder the coming weeks, and with guys set to come back from injury in the near future, the Nuggets have a good chance of staying top for quite a while.
