The Nuggets needed that one. Can’t lose when the other team is missing half their squad.
Russ changed momentum in 1st quarter, Nikola kept them in it, and both MPJ and Murray got something going in a win.

Denver’s defense was better after the 1st quarter. Christian Braun played 42 minutes.
-Murray got going with a fairly efficient 22 and 8
-MPJ got going in the 2nd half

Nuggets beat the Jazz 122-103. Not a whole lot to say about this one.
Collin Sexton: 9-16, 26 pts.
Keyonte George: 9-23 FG, 23 points.
Walker Kessler: 16/12/5/3b.
Two days off, then another back-to-back Saturday/Sunday. – 11:17 PM

Nikola Jokic’s entire goal this game as a passer has been to feed MPJ. He’s trying to get him opportunities. – 10:35 PM

Way too many Svi Mykhailiuk and Johnny Juzang iso possessions for my soul – 10:32 PM

Pretty impressive defense from the Nuggets since the first quarter outside of defensive rebounding. Peyton Watson stands out on the ball right now against Keyonte George. – 10:28 PM

Halftime Rotations for the Nuggets as they lead the Jazz 63-53:
Nikola Jokic: 21-6-3, had 19 in Q1
Christian Braun: 11 points, 3/3 FG, 1/1 3P, 4/4 FT
Russell Westbrook: 7 points, 5 assists, +13 in 9 minutes
Denver allowed just 18 points in that 2nd Quarter. pic.x.com/xBUIfgfNUl – 10:08 PM

@andyblarsen
Rough end of half from the Jazz… there was a little battle between Keyonte and MPJ that seemed like it influenced Keyonte’s choices there, and MPJ got the best of those interactions.
Nuggets up 63-53 at the half. Overall good half from the shorthanded Jazz, save for that. – 10:06 PM

Christian Braun goes into double figures for the 17th straight game to start the season. – 10:02 PM
Gordon Gross
@GMoneyNuggs
The bench putting in the work to give Jokic a lead when he comes back in is a wonderful change of pace, especially considering how hard Jokic had to work in the first quarter to keep Denver in this game early. – 9:54 PM
Gordon Gross
@GMoneyNuggs
I am on record saying that I won’t worry about Jamal Murray until December because he plays the worst basketball of his career in October and November… but man, he is a pale shadow of his former self. Here’s hoping the health and effectiveness come back soon because it’s ugly. – 9:45 PM
Andy Larsen

Drew Eubanks won’t return tonight, Jazz say, with a left knee contusion. – 9:40 PM

Jazz starters: Keyonte George, Collin Sexton, Svi Mykhailiuk, Micah Potter, Walker Kessler. – 8:45 PM
Law Murray

James Harden has 41 points, absolutely lighting the Wizards up

For the Utah Jazz tonight:
Lauri Markkanen, John Collins, Jordan Clarkson, Kyle Filipowski, Cody Williams, and Taylor Hendricks are all OUT.
Get ready for a lot of Keyonte George and Collin Sexton. – 7:28 PM

@andyblarsen
John Collins downgraded from questionable to out tonight. Jazz also missing Markkanen, Clarkson, Filipowski. – 7:14 PM

@LakersReporter
JJ Redick said a through line in the 3rd Q’s on offense vs. Denver and Phoenix is that the Lakers didn’t get enough thrust into the paint, both off dribble penetration and in general. – 7:06 PM
Tony Jones
@Tjonesonthenba
Regarding Lauri Markkanen: the Jazz star is out tonight for personal reasons
But his knee has checked out fine, according to league sources. He has no structural damage from tests last night and an MRI confirmed as much this morning so it looks like he escaped serious injury – 6:23 PM

With the win over Utah, the Spurs improved to 5-1 as favorites this season (beating the teams they’re supposed to beat).
They’re also 10-2 when leading by double digits and 7-4 when winning or tying the 3PT line. – 3:05 AM
