Hawks are a 1.5 point favorite.

In the last 10 H2H meetings Denver leads 7-3.

I am conflicted on starting Nance in Jalen's absence...

I understand the desire in starting two (2) legit big men against Jokic and Aaron Gordon.

But starting DeAndre at PF feels like the obvious move.

Starting Hunter the 4 does seem like the obvious move but I have sole concerns. Durability being one of my concerns and expecting him to play close to the rim. His shot is to good to not have him look for jumpers and 3 pointers.

Do you expect Nance to be moved for some value before the trade deadline?

Our Hawks need to move on from tonight.

It was the second of a back to back for Denver but the best player in the world dominated.

We managed to continue to score in the paint, 64 pounts, but Denver beat us with 76.

Fast Break Points
Denver 76
Hawks 64

We never held a lead in the game.

Two days off before we see the NY Knicks.

I do believe he will be moved...as a courtesy.

I doubt we get much in return for an undersized, backup Center on an expiring contract.
