Jack Harlow took tonight’s first shot at Ball Arena and is performing later at @missionballroom. He’s at best the fourth-best rapper in the building tonight (Bones, Will Barton, Aaron Gordon). – 9:13 PM

Will Barton III starts things out with back-to-back 3-pointers for the Nuggets. He is going to have to be great for the Nuggets tonight with Jokic, Porter and Murray out. – 9:11 PM

Free throws are down across the league and the Pacers rank 26th in attempts (17.5) per game. Nuggets are last in the league (15.1), but they rebound well and like to run.
Denver is a tough place to play and the Pacers are on the front end of a b2b. – 9:02 PM

Pregame reading – I wrote about the Pacers struggles to defend bigger wings, a problem that dates back a few seasons now. I also mused what the team could do better in this area: forbes.com/sites/tonyeast… – 8:51 PM

Nuggets starting Morris, Barton, Gordon, Green, and Green means that at least one of Zeke or Bol is likely to play, if not both.
Unless Malone does a major stagger which is always possible when this short handed. – 8:49 PM

Keys to the game
Nuggets vs Pacers
🔑 Turn them over – average 16 turns a game
🔑 Be Yourself – don’t try to do too much
🔑 Next Man Up – be a star in your role, collectively everyone has to rise with no Jokić, MPJ, or Murray

For whatever reason, Jack Harlow is taking the first shot of the game tonight for Nuggets-Pacers,
He wasn’t here for Nuggets-Heat, which is probably why Tyler Herro was bad. Harlow and Bones Hyland combined to limit Herro to 11 points on 12 shots. – 8:39 PM

With Caris LeVert (back discomfort) out, Pacers starting Brogdon, Duarte, Holiday, Sabonis and Turner in Denver. That group is 1-4 this season.
Without Jokic, Murray or MPJ, Nuggets going with Barton, Morris, Gordon, Jeff and JaMychal Green – 8:34 PM

It’s honestly absurd how comfortable Jamal Murray looks going through warmups. He’s approaching seven months post ACL surgery and seems to be improving at the expected rate, if not faster.
Ball Arena’s gonna go insane when he returns. pic.twitter.com/CMKgNgmVbz – 8:31 PM

Could Will Barton be in line for a big game tonight? He’s averaging 16.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.5 assists.

Asked Malone about his memorable interactions with @JokicBrothers. He recalls a game from 2015 when Jokic/Tyson Chandler got into it: “All of a sudden I saw this mountain of a man running down the stairs towards the court. There’s such a close bond. Brothers protect each other.” – 7:59 PM

Aaron Gordon is shooting 78% on post ups on the season, according the Synergy.
I doubt he goes to the post too much against Sabonis and Turner tonight, but he has punished switches well so far this year. Underrated in that regard. – 6:06 PM
