Nikola Jokic said the only thing he was able to do in quarantine was peloton. He said team provided one for him & he needed to sign up an account.
After using it, he said he thinks he’s going to buy one. His wife, Natalija, wants one.
Also said he played a lot of video games. – 12:16 AM

It was Nikola Jokic’s idea for Jamal Murray to miss that last free-throw and try for a basket with 3 seconds left in the 4th. Jokic called for that play. Aaron Gordon got a great look out of it. – 12:14 AM

Nuggets drop to +4 in road wins minus home losses, which is still on pace for a lot of wins.
So, miss me with stressing about a home loss to Detroit in November. – 12:11 AM

Burks does his usual crafty vet shit, gets a trip to the line. Slows momentum and, likely, will make it a two-possession game. – 11:20 PM

Just as I was getting ready to give MPJ props, he botches that feed to Joker for a TO.
Still, he’s quietly had a really nice night. Already up to 18 points (7-of-12) w/ 7 rebounds and a couple nice blocks. Key, IMO, is only 1-of-4 from 3 … and he’s still making a big impact. – 10:49 PM

The Nuggets have 57 points at the half. They have the 8th best offense this season. Still, it’s a crime that they don’t shoot more 3s. Denver leads the NBA in 3-point percentage but is just 25th in attempts/game. There’s so much left on the table. They could be historic. – 10:23 PM

The Nuggets welcomed back Jokic, Murray and Gordon and go into the half down 58-57.
Jokic has a line of 16 points, 7 rebs, 7 assists and Gordon added 12 points.
Detroit currently has the worst record in the league.
If you’re Malone, what’s your message to the team? – 10:19 PM

Dwane Casey on Killian Hayes finding success from 3 over last 7 games: “It’s the process playing itself out. He’s got enough reps, worked on his mechanics over the summer.” Said he’s been proud of his work on his shot. – 7:32 PM

Coach Malone said he has no idea who is going to play tonight. Sickness has been going around and he said all the travel the Nuggets are doing isn’t making it any easier.
Denver has had the least amount of home games in the NBA so far. – 7:26 PM

Michael Malone said Ish Smith told him two weeks ago that Brendan Malone, Michael’s dad, still texts Ish from their time with the Pistons.
Said Brendan got on him about stuff they used to work on in Detroit.
Malone was happy he’s not the only one. – 7:23 PM

Michael Malone said he has no idea who’s going to be available tonight.
He attributed it to, partially, the #Nuggets insane travel schedule. Fewest home games in the NBA, and they’re about to play a 3-in-4 around Thanksgiving. – 7:20 PM

Sounds like Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic are truly questionable after testing out of protocols. Aaron Gordon’s going to play. Peyton Watson won’t. Bones Hyland is TBD, as well. – 7:20 PM

Coach Malone on Jokic and Murray being questionable, says they were upgraded because they’ve cleared protocols which doesn’t mean they’re going to play. Said the plan is to get them over to Ball Arena and see how they feel, how they’re moving, then make a decision. – 7:18 PM

The Nuggets play their sixth home game tonight. That will be tied for the fewest in the NBA with the Houston Rockets.
Of course, the Rockets are coming to Denver for two games in a row after a home b2b on Fri/Sat.
Denver goes on the road tomorrow and Fri.
Just brutal. – 6:10 PM
