I asked Nikola Jokic what the next step is for Zeke Nnaji and he said passing out when he gets buried under the rim.
Couldn’t agree more. On many of Nnaji’s layups, he’s surrounded by two or more defenders meaning there is someone open somewhere. – 12:57 AM

This is certainly not 100% speed, but to see Jamal Murray taking contact from player development coach Steve Graham in the post & making moves to the rim is very encouraging.
I’ve heard nothing but good things about Murray’s rehab so far. Hard not to be excited for his return. pic.twitter.com/d9ZWhvhnhc – 8:33 PM

So Rivers is out due to a non-COVID illness which likely means Denver will turn to Davon Reed to help bolster their bench unit. – 8:07 PM

Denver expects Austin Rivers (illness) to be out tonight against the Lakers, joining JaMychal Green (protocols).
We should see more Jeff Green, Zeke Nnaji and Facundo Campazzo for the Nuggets. – 7:24 PM

Michael Malone discussed some of the similarities and differences (at my prompting) between the Clippers loss and tonight against the Lakers. He said it starts on the defensive end against a small ball unit, and THEN working on better spacing/personnel/gameplan on offense. – 7:23 PM

Malone, with JaMychal Green out, is noting how important Jeff Green & Zeke Nnaji are.
Both have been playing well as of late. Malone brought up Nnaji’s finishing around the rim as a big improvement. He said they spoke about how the game is slowing down for him at shootaround. – 7:22 PM

Said plan is to have Jeff Green come out early and then check back in to play some backup five. – 7:20 PM

The Nikola Jokic-Aaron Gordon chemistry is at its best level since Gordon came to the #Nuggets last season. Here we talk some very interesting stats to support this, and take a look at a very cool action that Gordon & Jokic run to exploit perimeter switches. pic.twitter.com/vPunFlOrVe – 3:36 PM
