I only have one concern in this game - will the Nuggets play to the level of their competition?

Minnesota is in 8-games losing streak and playing tonight without KAT, their by far best player, so Denver must play really *hard* to make a competitive game of this practice session tonight. And I'm very curious to see will Malone finds the way to give once again MPJ less than 15 minutes.

BTW, we played vs MIN without KAT in the final game of the last season, but instead of routine home win which we need to secure #2 seed on the West, Wolves lead at some point in the 4th 10+... so we beat them after the big drama. Two years ago we also played the final regular-season game vs Minnesota, but I don't want to remind what is happening at that time.

Nice to win but not an overly impressive win considering Towns wasn't playing.

Barton: Another nice game but ZERO FTA which means he wasn't very aggressive
Millsap: Not great but okay - ZERO FTA, means he wasn't very aggressive - like so many Nuggets, he could score more if he wanted to.
Jokic: 16 FGA which nice --- ZERO FTA, means he wasn't very aggressive
Murray: Very nice game
Harris: only 9 FGA but a solid game

Notice only 10 FTA by the starters - not aggressive enough
Only 2 FTA by the bench - not aggressive enough
Without Towns in the game, the Nuggets should have been pounding the paint.

Porter should some nice team defense - improving for sure.
