Injuries will have a big impact on this game but looks winnable for the Nuggets

I really don't want to sound arrogant, but home court match vs Spurs without two best players Leonard and Aldridge are almost "must win" cease. Also, it is last Denver match before all-star break pause, so players should be 100% focused on this match only, without excuses.

Nuggets do have 1 more against the Bucks before the ASG and Murray may not play so tougher to call it a "must win" game. That said I agree this will be our best shot at beating the Spurs so gotta bring it. Also, MIN lost today and OKC is trailing into the 4th of their perspective game so good chance to move up in the playoff standings.

Anyone else down to get Kyle Anderson this offseason and complete the most un-athletic front court of all time?

Just wondering why GHarris struggles so much against the Spurs, is Danny Green that good of a defender ?

Davis Bertans this season only twice scored over 16 points: 28 vs Denver, 18 vs Denver... and now he already has 12 on halftime.

Let's hope we will have once again another great 3rd quarter, like so many times this season.

Spurs fought hard. I’d definitely rather play the warriors in the playoffs than them at full strength

Great game for Jokic and Lauvergne, I love the way Nuggets offense looks when it's flowing through the Joker.

Nuggets are 13-6 when Chandler scores in double digits, amazing stat for a dude with such bad attitude. Imagine if he played up to his potential

Is there any new info about LaMarcus Aldridge injury? If he not going to play all-star game this week, Jokic should replace him.

Lyles started to play very well in last 15 minutes, but before that, we almost played without a bench. I don't know why Malone does not use Faried now in Millsap absence when Plumlee is injured. Good that this is a back-to-back match for Spurs, they really looked out of gas in that 4th quarter where we played our tonight's best basketball.

Harris is in mini-slump, with awful 12-2-2 35%FG% numbers in past 3 matches. I guess he will be happiest because of upcoming pause.

I don't want Jokic to be anyone's replacement , he deserved to be an all star this year because the Nuggets are play off team at this moment , league had to award that , if it wasn't for Malone he would have that precious 20 points per game average. He will be an all star in the future no doubt about it.

Hey Sky (and others)...

After this win The Nuggets are 5 games above .500, a mark we haven’t seen since the 12-13 season....

Caught the Spurs vulnerable, be nice to close out with a win against the Bucks before the ASB.

Also now in the 6th playoff spot, only 1/2 game behind the OKC and the 5th spot and 2 1/2 behind division leading MIN. We do have some tough games ahead but metal sharpens metal !! A win over the Bucks would be huge IMO
