A couple of early dunks and a pair of free throws from Aaron Gordon have the Nuggets out to a 6-3 lead early in Charlotte. – 7:15 PM
Adam Mares @Adam_Mares
Aaron Gordon has been attacking a lot more over the last few games. It’s great to see. – 7:14 PM

Oklahoma City Thunder @okcthunder
The Thunder heads to Portland after an inspiring effort in Denver, where a Thunder squad with only eight healthy players stormed back to take a fourth-quarter lead after trailing by as many as 16 points.

Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
Trae Young has scored 30+ points in five straight games against the Pacers. He’s the first Hawk since Dominique Wilkins to tally 30+ in five straight games against a single opponent (vs. Charlotte, 1/19/93-11/20/93), per @EliasSports. – 6:30 PM

This was tough, but I’m confident in my picks. Put Jokic on 1st Team over Luka because of the MVP.
Ran the stats between Peja, Kukoc and Detlef Schrempf and Peja narrowly grabbed the last 2nd team spot. #NBA75EuroVote https://t.co/xeI0aGZLpb pic.twitter.com/gn1M8eOVsL5:56 PM

Vinny Benedetto @VBenedetto
Nuggets will be without JaMychal Green for tonight’s game in Charlotte in addition to Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr., Zeke Nnaji and Vlatko Cancar.
Sounds like Facundo Campazzo will be available after missing a game with a non-Covid illness. – 5:38 PM
Michael Singer @msinger
Michael Malone: JaMychal Green is out. Facu Campazzo is trending in the right direction. – 5:36 PM

Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Here’s a current argument against Nikola Jokic for MVP: “Even though Jokic is a fantastic player, what he’s done, there’s no story. He’s not interesting. He’s carried them, but he always sort of carries them…” pic.twitter.com/KJ1P6wcZjb4:55 PM

Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Charlotte is 7-3 in its last 10 games. Since the All-Star break, the Hornets have the NBA’s 4th best offense (19th best defense). They’re 9-3 since signing Isaiah Thomas, who’s averaging 13 minutes off the bench. This is going to be a test for Denver tonight on the road. – 4:20 PM

Western Conference Player of the Week hasn’t been announced yet, but have a hunch Devin Booker will win it.
His last 4 games:
at Kings (W) 31 points, 7 rebounds
at T-Wolves (W) 28 points, 7 assists.
at Nuggets (W) 49 points (season high), 10 assists
vs. 76ers (W) 35 points – 3:28 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
LaMelo Ball stole the show during Kyrie Irving’s welcome home party last night. Irving says he will be better. The Nets need him to be.

📅 On this day in 1981, @Golden State Warriors rookie Larry Smith had 23 points, 31 rebounds, and five assists in a loss to the Nuggets.
Smith is the last rookie to record a 30-rebound game, and he’s one of only five players since the ABA-NBA merger to record at least 20p/30r/5a in a game. pic.twitter.com/RErCUZoSbB3:01 PM
