To no surprise, the Nuggets have ruled out Aaron Gordon (right hamstring strain), Christian Braun (left ankle sprain), and Julian Strawther (lower back injury management) against the Pacers, but have also listed Nikola Jokic (left wrist sprain) as probable and Jamal Murray (right ankle sprain) as questionable.

The Cavaliers are still finding their footing. Last season they had the top-ranked offense and were eighth in defensive rating; this season they're 11th in both departments. They just dropped a game at home to the Blazers and have lost four of their last five. Cleveland is dangerously close to being dropped into Tier 4.

They finally got a true backup center for Nikola Jokic in Jonas Valanciunas, Cameron Johnson replaced Michael Porter Jr., Bruce Brown brought championship experience and Tim Hardaway Jr. added shooting and scoring off the bench.

Denver Nuggets star Jamal Murray told himself to "keep shooting" as he put together one of the best offensive performances of his NBA career.

Jamal Murray scored 52 points to lead the Denver Nuggets to a 135-120 victory over the Indiana Pacers. The Nuggets went on a 22-3 scoring run in the second quarter, which effectively decided the game. INDIANAPOLIS -- Jamal Murray scored 52 points to lead the Nuggets to a 135-120 win over the Pacers on Wednesday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Jamal Murray scored a season-high 52 points and Nikola Jokic fell just short of another triple-double to help the Denver Nuggets hold off the short-handed Indiana Pacers 135-120 on Wednesday night.

Aaron Gordon became a champion and fan favorite for the Denver Nuggets, but he apparently hated playing in the city when he was a member of the Orlando Magic.

Denver made history with Murray, Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon each having 50+ point games in first 21 games of the season.

Denver's standout point guard was injured early in the 3rd quarter and missed the rest of the game on Monday night.

Monday night, the Nuggets coughed up 131 points at home to a floundering 7-15 Dallas Mavericks team lugging around the NBA’s worst offensive rating. Denver has now lost four straight at Ball Arena and sits at a very un-Nuggety, fool's gold-like 6-4 at home.
