If you don't want Jokic in the high post - this game would a great one for him in the low post. Maker is not strong enough to bother Jokic if he wants to score.

If Millsap wants back-to-back big games, here's his chance.

If Barton wants to show he can still score, this is the game for him to show that.

Harris will probably match up against Rose and should do well - does he want to score? Tonight's the night.

Murray needs to prove he can be consistent - and we expect him to be close to 20 pts.

The Nuggets need to win and win decisively. It's time to stop not giving a full effort.

This game should finish with 240 points with the Nuggets getting 130 of those points. The Nuggets should win all four quarters and they should have no fear about driving to the hoop frequently. This would result in 25-30 free throws.

Pistons are lottery team which traded their best player, and 2nd best are injured. So we won this home game before it is even started. The only benefits we can get from game like this is development of young players. But guess what, the only Nuggets player which didn't play over 10 minutes in 1st half is Michael Porter jr!?

I really don't get it.

Nice game overall. We won three quarters and played will for 2/3 of the game.

Malone has his 9 player-rotation fairly set and it's a nice one IMO

Jokic - wish he'd taken more shots even though we didn't need him to - he is so very team oriented and there's no problem with that

Millsap had a nice game but like Jokic, he could have scored so much more but that isn't his game either - so very team oriented

Barton didn't have a big game scoring-wise but he hustled on defense - he'll probably never be a great defender but he's improved in my opinion

Harris hit some shots and that's nice

Murray had a good all around game and like Barton, his defense seems to be improving

Grant had a monster game and that was great to see

Morris was steady on both ends - as always

Porter had a quiet 8 points on 2-3 FG & 4-7 FT --- his 8 rebounds weren't so quiet ;-)

Plumlee had a decent game
