One thing I have to bring up is how much Jokic and Murray have been stepping up their games while these injuries have occurred. Joker has averaged over 26/12 since Millsap and Harris went down while Murray has become a 4th qtr assasin. Even Morris is showing starter-type game over the past 5 games, Great season, fantastic depth and superstars in the making.

They use some extra energy from the home crowd, but let's see how it would be work on the road. We are 0-2 so far without Millsap and Harris away from the home. Morris is not just our best backup option, but 3rd overall best player in Harris and Millsap absence! Sadly he played 20 minutes last season for the Nuggets, so he is not counted as the rookie, otherwise, the way how he playing in December would put him into the conversation for the all-rookie team as best PG, ahead Trae Young and Sexton!

Jokic, Murray, Morris, Plumlee, and Craig are very constant every night, it would be good if we see from Lyles, Juancho, and Beasley fewer ups and downs until at least Barton is back.

Before the start of the season, it seemed we have just one single asset on the bench, Trey Lyles, with Juancho, Beasley, and Morris value close to the 2nd round pick, and Plumlee as a negative asset using new standards for centers and his contract. But look at them now!

I'm also thinking Jokic might have a relatively injury-free career since he isn't a "leaper". Those are the guys that tend to take the serious leg injuries.

Honestly I'm almost afraid of having everyone comeback because we can't play all of Murray, Harris, Beasley, Barton, Thomas, Morris in a rotation...

There's a lot more than mins involved here though, how is the returning players going to reintegrate and keep the existing chemistry ?

Sounds like a lot of small ball
