Aaron Gordon will remain away from the team while recovering from a dog bite that resulted in lacerations to his face and hand.
“He’s hanging in there,” Michael Malone said.

A mini horse was there too.

Weirdly fun yet boring/predictable game for Denver and Golden State. It really was kind of as simple as “Is Nikola Jokic in?” If yes, then Denver is clearly winning. If no, then Golden State is winning. Obviously there’s more in the details, but it was kind of that simple? – 1:38 AM

Joker will shoot his 10th free throw after the break. He’s 9/9 so far. That’s definitely propping up today’s game scoring wise.

The Andrew Wiggins return has pushed Moses Moody out of the rotation, at least temporarily. Steve Kerr going with only nine players in the first half. – 3:08 PM

Massive opening quarter from Michael Porter Jr. — 10 pts, two 3-pointers, 3 rebounds an assist and a block. Passing up good shots to try and get better ones. And he’s competing on defense. Michael Malone let him cook with 10 1st quarter minutes. – 3:07 PM

Twice Curry has tried to PNR, but Jokic just blatantly doubles. They aren’t worried about Looney roaming open. MPJ is the help man – 2:42 PM

Biggest test so far for these young guys on the Warriors. Hoping we get to see Trayce Jackson-Davis get some of his minutes against Nikola Jokic. – 2:40 PM

NBA Central: Bam Adebayo says Nikola Jokic is the hardest player to defend in the NBA “The thing that I most like about him is like he don’t flop…he not tryna get 16-17 free throws” (🎥 @theOGsShow / tapthe.link/BamOGs) pic.twitter.com/iSA4gUjCxc -via Twitter @TheNBACentral / December 26, 2023
Anthony Slater: Steve Kerr sounds off after Nikola Jokic’s 18 free throws: “I have a problem with the way we are legislating defense out of the game. We’re just enabling players to BS their way to the foul line. If I were a fan, I wouldn’t have wanted to watch the second half. It was disgusting.” pic.twitter.com/YBWuldi0Za -via Twitter @anthonyVslater / December 25, 2023
Kendra Andrews: Nuggets beat the Warriors 120-114 Jamal Murray 28 points, Nikola Jokic 26 points and Michael Porter Jr. 19. Three players with 15 pts. & 10 rebounds for the first time since Aug 2020 and all five of Denver’s starters scored 16 or more. -via Twitter @kendra__andrews / December 25, 2023
