Game 67: Sacramento Kings @ Denver Nuggets 5:00 PM ET

So which King is going to give us the most trouble tonight?

Not sure I'd pick one of their centers. I think Jokic-Plumlee can matchup fairly well with them.
Bogdanovic might be a tough matchup if Chandler is on cruise control again.
Not too worried about SG or PG.

Labissiere starts at PF and no doubt Millsap can dominate that matchup but when Randolph comes in, I'm not so sure our bench has anyone that will matchup well with him except maybe Plumlee.

I’m sure WCS will get plenty of those lobs over Jokic for dunks. It’s what our PnR coverage seems to force the opponent into.

I saw Labissiere is out for a while with an injury, won't play tonight. Randolph can be a problem but not that Millsap can't take on

This one feels like an important one to just hold on to a big lead. Haven’t been able to do that in 2nd halves against bad teams recently.

We have several painful loses this season vs bad teams, but on the home court, we are almost perfect in such games, so we know we will win this match on one way or another. But unfortunately, after today routine blowout win we will be less close to a playoff than yesterday, Minnesota wins vs GSW and Utah vs Pelicans are bad for us.

Next game vs Lakers in Los Angeles is not "good if we win" anymore, but "must win" now.

BTW credit to Malone for allowing Joker to made another triple-double and not sit down him when he is just one rebound shy from that. Fans want something to remember from this kind of boring games, and I really don't like two such cases from 1st half of November when Jokic is the first one from our 1st unit sit down during 15+ home wins when he needed just one assist more and just one fgm another match, for his first 2017/18 triple-double. The coach should always curry about such small details on home games.

Millsap was holding his hand at about 3 minute mark in the 3rd. Not sure but it looked like he may have hurt it. Because no trainer went to him when he went to the bench, I hope it is a small matter.

Have not seen much discussion about this but where was Hernangomez?

I didn't find this game boring at all although it had "garbage time" at the end. I have missed seeing the Nuggets have "garbage time."

There was one Jokic pass that I will never forget (1:40 left in the 2nd period). Jokic was great!

One of these days Malone will realize how much if an idiot he has been, and the media will realize they are worse for not covering Jokic like they should be.

He was holding fort while RICHARD JEFFERSON and DARRELL ARTHUR were taking care of business.
