I was confused seeing at OP Will Barton out from starting lineup after season-high just two days ago, but this is actually true about today's game in Dallas! Will Barton will not play today due to personal reasons (I just googled it).

Barton will be missed, but note that Mavs playing without their 2nd best player Porzingins, so Denver is going to Texas with decent chances to win, and revenge for surprising October home defeat where Nuggets was unprepared how good was Dallas this season lead by improved Doncic.

Doncic looks like their only starter that is dangerous - unless we play down to the level of the rest of their starters.

Doncic is one SMOOTH player, really enjoy watching his game. Watching this game, really start to believe Harris is the guy to try and trade, his production really doesn't match his salary.

Great win! We are definitely a much more dangerous team on the road than the previous season. Without two starters we fight until the end vs top10 team. Jokic is on fire, 80pts in the last two games despite quiet 1st half (takes only 5 shots). Good that he realized since the start of the 2nd half what he should do.

Nice close and good road win.
Just imagine what happens if we go back to the motion offense that has been so effective in years past and if we could re-aquire the defense we had earlier this year - which also involves motion (in terms of general hustle). This team has tremendous potential.

Porter hustled but had some ineffective plays; to be expected as a rookie. Still love his potential

Grant's hustle on defense was a welcome contribution.

20 shots for Jokic & 18 shots for Murray --- that's the way it should be; with both of them around or over 20 shots per game.

Return to Denver Nuggets
