Do they really want to see Young and Dejounte Murray reunited at this late stage … or would it actually help their looming decision-making in the offseason when it comes to trading one or the other to play out the rest of the season as a Murray-centric squad? Only the Hawks know their preferred path for sure. The most likely scenario, according to one league source, continues to be that Atlanta trades one of its two star guards before next season.

A good challenge from Dejounte Murray of MPJ’s layup but the Hawks don’t corral the loose ball and the Nuggets make them pay.
But Murray hits a contested 3 over Murray and it cuts the deficit to 80-71. – 10:35 PM

Nuggets 5-man bench unit is a +9 with Nikola Jokic on the bench in the 1st half — several of those minutes came against Dejounte Murray, Jalen Johnson, Clint Capela and some of the Hawks’ starters. – 9:56 PM

If I were Denver, I’d have Christian Braun chase around Bogdan Bogdanovic tonight, KCP guard Dejounte Murray, and leave Jamal on De’Andre Hunter. – 9:00 PM
