We've beaten the Thunder 3-0 this year, so we can definitely win tonight, if we play our game.

Jokic vs Adams is a tough matchup but Jokic will have trouble on switches, so ... it's okay, Jokic can handle it anyway.

Millsap will find tonight's matchups rough but if he doesn't close out on Grant and just stops him from driving, it'll work out well.

Barton stopping George ???

Harris does well against Westbrook and Murray isn't terrible but on switches, Westbrook will destroy the Nuggets IMO.

George is in a slump for over a month or so, Adams is in terrible form all year, the Thunder fans are pretty pissed at him and the Thunder are altogether having a rough month and a half or even more.

But the Nuggets have also been bleak in the last few games and I think this will be a close one.

Wonder if getting spanked last game will be any motivation for this team ? We do have a positive record on the second of a B2B

I was much more excited before previous three games vs OKC than today because before ASG it seems a sure bet that Nuggets and OKC will share #2 and #3 seed and fight for NorthWest winner and face each others in PO SF. But now is obvious that Denver won this regular season battle and OKC is definitely out of TOP3. That said, there are about 30% chances of DEN and OKC will play in the 1st round, so this game is still interesting and includes two probable members of 2019 All-NBA first team Nikola Jokic and Paul George.

Strong game by Murray, sure look forward to seeing that type of game CONSISTENTLY going forward.

Great win! Maybe some other #5-#8 team will intentionally choose Nuggets as their playoff 1st round opponent instead of Rockets, but not Oklahoma for sure after our h2h torture against that team continues! Timberpuppies just upset Warriors in overtime win, so we are once again more close to the #1 seed than to the #3 (but #2 still remains most realistic scenario).

Today most of everything worked well, so we beat NBA TOP10 team with two TOP10 players. Jamal Murray this week definitely crowned himself as Denver Nuggets #2 player. Millsap good shape after ASG continues. Jokic without assists is not MVP candidate, but still an all-star level center with a monster 23-16 double-double today, and this time Murray and Morris running out offense instead of Joker, not Barton, so it doesn't look that bad at all. I want to believe that Barton playing time reduction on under 25 minutes (and Jokic rise to 35) was product of Malone analysis, not Barton's foul troubles.

Nice win!

Millsap & Barton played well but not impressive.
It's amazing how easy it is to take Jokic for granted: 23 points & 16 rebounds!
Murray had the kind of game we expect from him - fantastic!
Harris played some nice defense but he still doesn't look 100%.

Plumlee & Craig had okay games on offense & much better than okay on defense.
Morris was less impressive than his normal on offense but some very nice defense!

I only expect defense from Craig, which he did. Any offense from him is a bonus to me.
