It was Pacers v KD in the 4th and the Pacers were +17, get the win 128-117.
Everyone played their part; Hield scored 26, Turner with 23 and Haliburton added 21-15a.
They handled their business at home — won 8 of 10 during homestand.
Up next: Sun. at LAC to begin 7-game roadie. – 10:30 PM

Asked Tyronn Lue today about what happens with the team when Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are recovering instead of in their place of leading by example.
Lue praised the other vets, and also said Leonard and George having a voice means a lot to the team even though they’re hurt pic.twitter.com/HcnS2ZxznC10:02 PM

Michael Malone on Nikola Jokic: “When I see him in huddles, when I see him in the locker room, and I see him at shootaround being vocal … holding everybody accountable, that to me is more important than developing a left hand jump hook.” pic.twitter.com/b3rmPlJYIC9:56 PM

Luke Kornet hasn’t missed a shot since Nov. 11 against the Nuggets. – 9:55 PM

Isaiah Joe finally misses after hitting nine consecutive 3s (he hit seven straight against Denver, then his first two tonight). Longest streak in OKC history (KD in 2012 his 8 straight). – 9:46 PM

#Nuggets announce that both Nikola Jokic and Ish Smith are available to play tonight.
Smith hasn’t played since Oct. 30, a span of 11 games. – 9:41 PM
Denver Nuggets @nuggets
Injury Update: Nikola Jokić and Ish Smith are available. pic.twitter.com/e41U2srwBS9:40 PM

Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Michael Porter Jr. (heel contusion) is out again tonight. Nikola Jokic and Ish Smith are available. – 9:38 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
No idea if MPJ or Ish are gonna play tonight, but given that Joker is probable I assume he’s playing. I’m sure Malone said this at his presser a few minutes ago.
Unfortunately, I’m on Day 4 of Covid suffering. – 9:25 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Michael Malone takes nothing from Nuggets-Clippers preseason game played in Ontario in October despite both teams playing full squads for most part (no Jamal, no Kawhi last month but that was it).
Malone also did not sound happy about the condition of the floor that night either – 9:05 PM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Re: Kawhi, PG and Kennard, Ty Lue said late in his pregame talk with reporters that he has a good feeling for how the injured Clippers are progressing. He said he hasn’t tried to reorient the offense like he did last season because he didn’t think the absences would be long term. – 9:03 PM
Janis Carr @janiscarr
Ty Lue says PG, Kawhi and Luke are all out tonight and Sunday. – 9:02 PM
Sean Grande @SeanGrandePBP
The Celtics entered the game tonight 17th in the NBA in defense.
But 29th in the 2nd quarter (only Denver has been worse).
In the 2nd quarter tonight, the Kings have gone 12-18 from the floor, scored 27 points in less than 8 minutes and the Celtics lead, once 16, is now 53-49. – 8:58 PM
Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Kawhi Leonard and Paul George will also remain out on Sunday vs Indiana in addition to tonight per Ty Lue. – 8:57 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Luke Kennard, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George already ruled out for Sunday.
Like I said yesterday, I’m not necessarily expecting them to play until next Saturday at earliest. – 8:57 PM
Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Ty Lue says Luke Kennard remains out tonight and out Sunday against Indiana. – 8:54 PM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Luke Kennard will miss tonight of course but also Sunday’s game as well with his calf strain, Ty Lue says. – 8:54 PM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Against Denver tonight the Clippers are starting Amir Coffey and Terance Mann for a second straight game. – 8:52 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Same starters for Clippers as Wednesday night (Jackson, Mann, Coffey, Morris, Zubac) – 8:52 PM

Really hard to believe Denver just sort of gave up on Bol Bol. – 8:49 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
With 18 points in the first 10 minutes, this is already the second-most points Bam Adebayo has scored in a single quarter in his NBA career.
He had 19 points in a first quarter against the Clippers in November 2021. – 8:35 PM
Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
Bam’s highest-scoring first quarters …
— 19 vs. Clippers, 11/11/21
— 16 vs. Wizards, tonight (with 3:57 left)
— 15 vs. Wizards, 2/5/21 – 8:27 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
I need a good night out of Denver’s defense. Clippers have the 28th ranked offense and are without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Nuggets have the 27th ranked defense — the only teams worse are the Rockets, Pistons, Spurs. This defensive turnaround has to start soon. – 7:42 PM
Jeff Goodman @GoodmanHoops
Denver wins at New Orleans today.
DU now 6-1 in Jeff Wulbrun’s second season — best start since 2011-12 and tied for best in program’s D1 era (98-pres).
Wulbrun took over after a 2-19 season in 2020-21 in which only one win came against a D-1 school. – 7:30 PM
Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
Welcome to Adam Silver’s NBA. In just the last week, the Knicks have played the Nuggets without Jokic, the Suns without Chris Paul and now the Blazers without Dame Lillard. – 7:26 PM

The Nuggets have outscored opponents by 140 points when Nikola Jokic and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope share the floor… and have been outscored by 137 points when either Jokic or KCP is off the floor. – 6:57 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Key number to know for tonight’s Nuggets-Clippers game:
In 300+ minutes, the Clippers have a -10 Net Rating in the minutes when both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are off the floor. They score just 100 points per 100 possessions. Horrible offense.
Both are out tonight. – 6:36 PM

JRE on going from defending Nikola Jokic to Nikola Vucevic: “We have to guard as a unit… Being able to do it as a unit out there makes it easy for that person to guard 1v1.” – 5:38 PM
