What a huge shot by Devonte’ Graham.
Every time it looks like Denver is about to claw within striking distance, the Pels have pushed back out.
And Ingram will be checking back in shortly. – 10:05 PM

Barton has come out of the game after a take foul. Denver absolutely needs him and if he is out with a left ankle issue, that could be bad.
Entering tonight, Denver is two games up on the 7th-seeded T-Wolves. – 10:02 PM

Checking out NO-DEN. Pels are much improved and Ingram has been playing out of his mind post ASB. DEN falls behind by 10+ once Jokic leaves the game, making the case, yet again, why he is the MVP. – 9:55 PM

Nuggets led by 21 points in the first half, but then fell apart on defense. Brandon Ingram’s up to 31 after Aaron Gordon held him scoreless in the first quarter. Denver now trails by 10 entering the fourth and in need of a Jokic takeover. – 9:53 PM

-Bones also mostly great. Couple loud mistakes but he and JMyke carried the bench

Best opening stint from the starting lineup in awhile. And against a very good Pelicans starting unit.
13-30 Nuggets. – 8:27 PM

My favorite random thing about this next month is Grizzlies and Pelicans execs scoreboard-watching otherwise meaningless Wizards games because of the implications for the Lakers’ pick (1-10 Pelicans, 11-30 Griz). Washington will be one game ahead of L.A. with a win tonight. – 7:57 PM

Zeke Nnaji getting healthy is good for Denver. He gives Denver another perimeter oriented big man option that has proven to be helpful.
I also think, based on Malone’s pregame comments, that he’s out of the rotation. – 7:53 PM

I know it’s a snowy day in Denver. But I haven’t done this in a while…
Two tickets to tonight’s game vs the Pelicans, tip off at 6pm to the first correct answer:
There are 5 centers in the NBA with 30+ point games this season…
Embiid, Towns, Turner and who are the other two? – 7:12 PM

I also asked Malone about the defense Denver played on Ingram last game (at the level) that reduced Ingram’s shooting efficiency but opened up passing lanes.
He said he didn’t think the Nuggets are at the level ENOUGH with their bigs. That will probably be a point of focus. – 6:28 PM

Michael Malone was very complimentary of Herb Jones and his ability to impact the game in so many different ways. Pointed out the steals numbers the Pelicans were getting were “off the charts” the last four games.
