NBA restart: Sleeper teams to watch in the bubble

We’ve already named two of the best teams heading into the NBA bubble in Orlando, and neither of them were the Los Angeles Lakers.

Next, our Charles Curtis and Mike Sykes (see the video above) made their choices for the sleeper squads in Disney World.

Sykes took the Denver Nuggets, with the slimmed-down Nikola Jokic, who come in as the No. 3 seed in the West.

As for East teams? The Sixers and Heat were discussed.
