Zeke Nnaji is back — at backup center tonight. Nuggets open the 2nd quarter with a five-man bench unit that includes Julian Strawther. – 9:41 PM

1Q: Nuggets 33, Hawks 26
What a crazy finish from Peyton Watson, which summarizes the Nuggets shooting in the first. The Nuggets went 11-22 from the floor and made 4-9 3s.
The Hawks couldn’t buy a bucket and didn’t get much offense from the bench. Splits: 39/27/83 – 9:40 PM

Pretty meh first quarter from Jokic, who’s got 9-4-3 but made a lot of weird decisions after not getting a foul call against Bruno Fernando. – 9:39 PM

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen this before, but Nikola Jokic just spit out his mouthguard in frustration after a missed And-1 opportunity. He caught it in midair. – 9:26 PM

Alright, pretty solid start for both teams offensively. The Hawks are getting downhill in the pick and roll with a spread floor and Capela in the middle.
Jamal Murray looks solid athletically. Not spectacular, but he’s digging down defensively and moving well out there. – 9:20 PM

Reggie Jackson (questionable coming into tonight with an illness) just came out on the floor wearing a mask. He’s available to play but wasn’t on the court for layup lines and pregame introductions. – 9:10 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

Jamal Murray’s returning to the Nuggets’ lineup after missing the last seven games. Murray didn’t look 100% to me during his pregame warmup — looked like his back was bothering him too — but he’s playing tonight. – 8:37 PM

Really surprised that Reggie Jackson was playing with the way Michael Malone discussed his availability today. Asked if he was feeling okay, Malone paused and said he’s feeling…okay.
“I think he’s another guy that I really don’t know his status at this time.” – 8:25 PM

Coach Malone says Murray is feeling better and will come down to how he feels in his pregame routine.
AG and Reggie Jackson are also going to go through their pregame routine and see how they feel.
Game time decisions all around for the questionable players for Denver. – 7:18 PM

The West is so good.
If you’re the Wolves, would you rather be the 1 seed in the West (like a LAL-DAL-DEN path) or the 7 seed in the East (don’t have to face the Celtics til conference finals)? – 5:40 PM
