After a very disappointing first few months, including two coaching changes, the Denver Nuggets have climbed their way into the Top-5 of RealGM.com's Team Rankings.  They have won six in a row and are 21-5 since George Karl was named head coach.

On Monday they will travel to Phoenix to face the Suns, who are number two in the rankings, right behind the Miami Heat, who maintained the number one post, even though they stumbled in Charlotte on Saturday.

Rounding out the Top-5 are the Spurs and Sonics.
