Another ugly stint for this five-man Nuggets bench. That group just gave up a 12-2 run over the last four minutes, and Michael Malone brings his starters in way earlier than usual — at the nine minute mark of the 4th. – 10:58 PM

This all bench second unit for the Nuggets is getting worked at the start of the 4th for the second straight night. Considering Austin Rivers is their best creator, we shouldn’t consider it a surprise. – 10:57 PM

A friend of mine loves the NBA, but hasn’t been able to watch ball. I was explaining Evan Mobley to him and I said “He’s like Chris Bosh, but a more modern version of Chris Bosh.”
It felt weird, because it’s not like Bosh has been gone all that long. But I think I did alright! – 10:56 PM

This season. Denver has been bad from 3, aren’t creating free throws, and are turning the ball over far too often. Winning with those issues is incredibly difficult in the NBA and it’s finally biting Denver in the ass. – 10:53 PM

Nuggets have 17 assists and 16 turnovers through 3 quarters. They’re shooting 24% on 31 threes, have gotten 10 fewer free throws, 16 total bench points and trail by just 5. Denver’s gonna need a monster effort from Jokic, and maybe someone else can chip in if the mood strikes. – 10:51 PM

Nikola Jokic is carrying the scoring load again for Denver tonight: 15 points and 12 rebounds but four first-half turnovers. Also, with 51 seconds left in the 2nd, Malone subbed Jeff Green in for MPJ, and Porter was not happy about it walking back to the bench. That was obvious. – 10:11 PM

Michael Malone pregame: “I think Will Barton in two games has been great defensively.” Barton helped hold Devin Booker to 3-15 shooting in the opener. At halftime vs. the Spurs he asked to guard Keldon Johnson. Nuggets held Johnson to 9 pts in the 2nd half. He had 18 in the 1st. – 7:22 PM

Rudy Gay (OUT – right heel surgery) is the only player on the Utah Jazz’s injury report for tomorrow night’s game against the Denver Nuggets. Hoping to have a bit more clarity on his timeline to return later today. – 6:27 PM

Quin Snyder is a big fan of the Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic. He just doesn’t like scouting him https://t.co/vT94sWDR9g pic.twitter.com/GLNla05tf5 – 6:24 PM

I have two tickets to tonight’s Nuggets game I am giving away to whoever answers this question first:
Nuggets play the Cavs tonight. When Denver was in Cleveland on February 19, what significant thing happened in that game? – 5:30 PM

#Cavs rookie Evan Mobley was one of the nominees for Eastern Conference Player of the Week. He did not win tho. Miles Bridges of the Hornets did. Stephen Curry got the honor in the Western Conference. – 3:35 PM

#Cavs J.B. Bickerstaff made it sound as if both Darius Garland (ankle) and Dylan Windler (hip) will be available to play tonight in Denver after going through both parts of shootaround. No official word tho.
“I think there’s a possibility that they’ll play,” Bickerstaff said. – 3:20 PM
