After the game 1 blowout win, we should be relaxed before game 2, but unfortunately, Nikola Jokic is questionable for today's game due to a wrist sprain. Let's hope everything will be OK.

So is Jokic out or not?

I'm guessing he is not out because he seems to be bothered by differing degrees of wrist injury throughout his career. Obviously, he has his hands on the ball most every possession, so it is not a surprise he has a wrist injury much of the time given the way players are allowed to slap at him. It never seems to stop him when he feels like playing well though.

To what degree is his wrist injury bothering him ? Is it best to start DAJ or Bryant ? Seems like this should be a pivotal moment in the series so I'm hoping he can play through it. Give him as much rest as possible in the game but if/when we put this one away, this series should be a gentleman's sweep at worst with a win tonight

Joker still gets no respect, a foul and NO CALL

Murray is AFTER IT !! Fourteen pts so far, he rises up for the playoffs !

Held MINN to 31% shooting from the field, up by 9 thru the 1st

MPJ with 3 fouls but MINN's KAT and ANT both with the same, no real offense for Tpups until the 3rd period. Up by 21 in the 2nd

Denver is great lately in 3rd quarters, tonight 3q disaster comes from nowhere. But apart from 3rd quarter, and the fact that once again in playoff opponents best guard overperforming by far, everything else was good, especially Murray.

What I've noticed is the Nuggs lost focus coming out of the half, but it never seemed like they lost their cool. Wish all three of Jokic, Murray and MPJ could just be consistent for an entire game, wouldn't that be great ? This team has a mature focus in the playoffs so far, can't remember a time when this team has ever looked so strong.

And I know this may not be a popular opinion, not sure I wouldn't rather keep BB over KCP. Sure hope BB likes what this team is developing into and opts in.

Gotta say I'm surprised Malone didn't go after the Tpup's front line when they all got 5 fouls, perfect opportunity missed there
