Nuggets announce DeMarcus Cousins is out, too.
So no Joker, AG or Boogie.
Maybe a big Bones or Zeke night? – 9:09 PM

Wilt Chamberlain has 43 of them.

January’s Western Conference Player of the Month: Nikola Jokic. It’s his third career Player of the Month award. That ties Carmelo Anthony and Alex English for most Player of the Month awards in franchise history. – 3:05 PM

DeMarcus Cousins on a 10-day feels integral to Denver’s bench right now, especially when playing against a competent backup 5. This was Minnesota’s first possession after Nikola Jokic subbed out late in the 1Q last night. Set the tone for a dominant run from Wolves’ second unit. pic.twitter.com/vXN2VhZHUM – 1:17 PM

Ja Morant attacks every part of the paint.
He is on pace to become the 3rd player over the last 25 seasons to average at least 3 made shots in both the restricted area and non-restricted area part of the paint.
Others to do this?

David Thorpe has been watching even more basketball since his dad died. @David Thorpe has picked a new title favorite (to replace the Bucks). Also notes on the Celtics’ D, Steven Adams, Scottie Barnes, Jokic, Kuzma and, of course, JA. https://t.co/fYDc2pmKfD pic.twitter.com/gg0Ce8FpYc – 10:50 AM

Five-game winning streak is done. Still, encouraging to see Nikola Jokic standing and applauding at Zeke Nnaji’s effort as time ticks down.
#Nuggets fall to 28-22 with another one on tap from Utah tomorrow night. Will see you there. – 10:18 PM

Wolves have taken their foot off the gas. A 28-point lead is down to 19 (coinciding with KAT’s exit after four fouls). Something in their favor: Jokic has to rest at some point. – 9:45 PM

Nikola Jokic might have only a few minutes to snatch his 14th triple-double of the season tonight. He’s sitting on 19/9/8, but … it’s a 26-point game. – 9:37 PM
