If we did Marvel’s What If & Jokic looked for his own shot as a priority instead of setting up his teammates, how many could he average per game? 30? 35? More? He had 32 in 27 minutes tonight on 14-19 while looking to set up teammates. – 5:28 PM

Zeke Nnaji…it’s small NBA sample, but he’s at 47.7% from behind the arc in his career. The shooting feels real. Good form, good release, good timing. Has a history of hitting shots as a young player.
Denver has a pretty good young player not enough people are talking about. – 4:18 PM

A couple days ago, I wrote on how DEN can win despite their injuries for @MileHighSports.
The two things they need to do? Trust in Jokic & defend.
At half in New York, DEN leads 60-49, Jokic has 17-7-3 & DEN has held NYK to 38.3% from the field.

The Knicks cut into the lead a little bit, but Denver is still up 60-49 at the halftime break behind 16 points off the bench from second-year forward Zeke Nnaji. Nikola Jokic has 17 to lead Denver, while Julius Randle has 13 for New York. – 2:12 PM

Julius Randle is carrying the Knicks offensively in the first half (13 points and 4 assists) but this is the type of lazy, lackadaisical, inexcusable defensive effort from Randle we’ve seen at times this season that’s frustrated fans.

Between Zeke Nnaji being a splash brother and Jokic being Jokic, Will Barton III’s 7 point, 6 rebounds, 5 assist first half were easily overlooked, but he kept the Nuggets offense functioning, alongside Jokic, in the halfcourt. He was great. – 2:08 PM

Halftime rotations for the Nuggets as they lead the Knicks 60-49.
-Will Barton has been great as a creator for others
-Zeke 16 points in 14 minutes
-Jokić finally got a three to go
-Bench gave Denver their margin. Davon Reed defended D Rose w/that unit pic.twitter.com/yHJ7OQn4MU – 2:08 PM

The Nuggets are in the Garden and are dominating in the 1st half.
Nikola Jokic has 17 points and 7 rebounds, Zeke Nnaji is STILL on 🔥 and has 16 points including four 3-pointers and Barton/Jeff Green has 7 apiece.

Aaron Gordon’s intent going downhill is so clear. It doesn’t matter if he’s cutting, driving or rolling off a pick and roll; he is using his strength and size to get to the rim and it’s led to better offensive production individually for him while opening up the Nuggets offense. – 1:15 PM
