Suns are a guard dominant offense and the Nuggets' worst defense come from our guards. Yucky match-up.

Despite Sun's horrible record this season, they've been played pretty good basketball lately , this is a tricky game but Denver should win this.

Jokic was such a great draft pick.
If any of you are watching the Suns feed, I'm sorry for Ann Drysdale.

Jokic just went down, but I still didn't see what happened. I hope he's okay.

Glad to see Jokic walk off on his own power, but wow whole team went over to check on him. The Nuggets are all in together. London trip truly bonded them it seems like.

Nice win, hard fought. Jokic is turning into a superstar before our own eyes, hope he's alright

Joker with some sort of hip injury, walked out of x-ray room

Why did Nelson play sooo many minutes and Murray got 6?

Jokic is not inferior player to KAT or Embid , he's shoulder to shoulder with them, he's clearly better than Porzingis though :)

Looks like Jokic will get a little recovery time, which will mean Nurkic get his time to step up and show what he's got.

Jameer Nelson played 41 minutes. Good effing God. I don't even care if he played well. That's insane.

I was unable to watch tonight, but the news of Jokic's injury literally felt like a punch to the gut. Fingers crossed for a clean MRI tomorrow. We can kiss that 8th seed goodbye if he's going to miss an extended amount of time.

Even if Jokic sits out, Malone may or may not play Nurkic. He still has Faried, Arthur, and Now O'Bryant. He might even play Nelson at center, except then he'd have to play Murray and we all know he won't do that.
