Vlatko Čančar — OUT (Right Ankle Sprain)
Aaron Gordon — OUT (Right Calf Strain)
DaRon Holmes II — OUT (Right Achilles Tendon)
PJ Hall — OUT (G League Two-Way Assignment)
Jamal Murray — QUESTIONABLE (Concussion Protocol)
Josh Cristopher — OUT (G League Two-Way Assignment)
Jaime Jaquez Jr. — QUESTIONABLE (Return to Competition Reconditioning)
Keshad Johsnon — OUT (G League Two-Way Assignment)
Kevin Love — OUT (Return to Competition Reconditioning)
Jacquez had been out sick for a bit but he was at shootaround today, so it seems likely he'll play.
Hopefully Murray can go.

Hopefully Murray can go. I hope PWat guards Jaquez if he plays. They were teammates for one season at UCLA. Though Watson barely played in games there, I’m sure they faced each other as well as played together in scrimmages at a lot of UCLA practices. Watson knows his footwork and moves. |

Murray should be ready, at least thats what they were announcing before OKC game... but weather he plays or not, this is almost must win. nut because game in November will decide anything, but more because after win we had against OKC, this one is confirmation win.
whatever happens, we can be almost sure game will be decided in last 3 minutes. that looks to be Nuggets ammo this season

Considering we had OKC twice, Minnesota, Miami and Dallas...if the Nuggets can somehow start 6-3 considering their injuries I think we should all be extremely happy. Even 5-4 after the start we had would be solid. If they can keep picking up wins while the young guys develop, that's just icing on the cake. Christian Braun scored 24 last game. Higher than KCP did in any game as a Nugget. Not ragging on KCP but I stand my ground on my take that CB would be the better fit, just in a different way. So if we can get Murray/MPJ playing B level basketball, the Nuggets will once again have an unbeatable starting lineup. Need the young bench to keep developing. If they do, all of a sudden the Nuggets are contenders again. Big questions but at least it'll be fun to watch the growth. |

He gets far too much undeserved grief around here . I understand he isn’t worth his contract. But that’s not his fault. He clearly had a good agent and Stan Kroenke loved the Missouri connection. Blame him. |

If they do, all of a sudden the Nuggets are contenders again. Big questions but at least it'll be fun to watch the growth. We need to keep reminding ourselfs that Jokic led Serbia team with mostly non NBA players almost beat one of the best (if not the best) USA team when we are projecting this team ceiling. As much as i would love to see Jokic play with legit 2nd/3rd option like for example Maxey/PG instead of Jamal/MPJ, it is also a question would those type of 2nd/3rd options and role players of that caliber accept the "Jokic ball" style. For example, Harden is better player than Russ at this stage but there is no way Harden would diminish/change his play style to adjust to "Jokic ball". I firmly beilive this team can be a legit contender come April, but couple of things needs to becomoe reality. CB to sustain this growth, Strawther to not be lost on defense/be a foul machine + solid 38% from 3, Pwat not be a total minus on offense and as a bonus finding one of Saric/Zeke to be usable come playoff time or finding a PF/C at trade deadline for those 2. |

Russ and Jokic have got something going in the first unit, and I’d run with that until Russ hits a wall. Hell to the NO. As much as i am mad at Jamal's performance/attitude, hell everything in the last 6 months or so, if you do that for 1 game you will have entire national media + "new media" starting the "Should the Nuggets start Russ and trade Jamal for better role players". You will have that train blowing so hard that will disrupt not only Jamal even further but potentially our locker room. Jamal needs to work on his conditioning in general but his confidence is everything. You give a guy 52 million per year extension only to bench him 8 games in the season? I bet that he would go full rogue mode and sabotage the team. |

Watsons defense is just f***ing unbelievable. The guy closes ground so quickly and he's so long. You can see just how much a difference his defense is making for the starting lineup. So many times the opposing team is forced to overpass.
Phenomenal start.

Lovely start to the game. Every time you play through Jokic you get an open shot. Please no hijack the offense out of timeout please.

100% of CB's 3 pointers have been assisted this year. Catch and shoot demon.

Anyone else tired of Jokic getting fouled every single possession and never getting a call?
