Gary Harris not playing, the Nuggs on a b2b.. We should be fine here.

Only thing that frightens me is Jok had only 4 assists yesterday, hopefully this game isn't pulling him back to the mean.

Phoenix did a great job against Denver. A lot of their sets look similar to ours and their ball-movement and 3 point shooting gave the Nuggets problems. A in today would put us in striking distance of the top 3 in the West.

Gary Harris didn't play the last time the teams met and the Nuggets were still able to beat Portland at the Moda. They are also 3-1 on the 2nd of b-2-b's. Not sure either circumstance is able to overcome the Mile High factor. Portland has also lost 4 in a row against Denver so there appear to be some match-up issues

Doesn't Denver get a special advantage from the altitude? I think historically they play well at home.

Crazy that the Nuggets had BOTH Jokic and Nurk

Lillard plays matador defense on 1 end and throws up a lame 40 foot jumper on the other.

The rule tonight. Blazers can't breath on the Nuggets or they're whistled for a foul. Blazers in return must draw blood to get a foul called on the Nuggets.

CJ was blanketed by one of the best defenders on the floor and he created an open shot. This is why he is one of the NBA's best players.
