NIKOLA JOKIC DUNK IN TRANSITION – 8:14 PM
Vinny Benedetto @VBenedetto
Nuggets s open the game with consecutive stops, an Austin Rivers 3 and a Monte Morris mid-range for an early 5-0 lead. – 8:12 PM
TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Denver is without Murray, MPJ, Barton, Nnaji and Cancar tonight which means things are going to get weird.
Jokic will be Jokic, but Denver needs great games from Morris, Bones and Gordon tonight to beat the Mavericks in Dallas. – 8:12 PM
Mark Followill @MFollowill
Mavs and Denver with an early start tonight at @AACenter. Mins away from a 7:10 tipoff on BSSW. Mavs with their only home game in a stretch of 6 of 7 on the road – 8:08 PM

Nuggets announce Zeke Nnaji will not play tonight due to an ankle sprain. Nnaji played 18 minutes last night. Might mean some meaningful minutes go Bol Bol’s way if Michael Malone sticks with a 10-man rotation. – 7:59 PM

No real update from Nuggets coach Michael Malone on Will Barton III’s status tonight vs. Dallas. Barton’s listed as doubtful after being a late scratch Sunday with low back pain. – 6:38 PM

Will Barton is a game time decision, Michael Malone says. – 6:37 PM

Michael Malone pregame in Dallas: “What I marvel at when I think about Nikola is just the consistency…and the mental and physical toughness. He just keeps on going. There’s no slowing him down.” – 6:34 PM

Warriors’ Stephen Curry and Nets’ Kevin Durant have been named Western and Eastern Conference Players of the Week, respectively.
Lakers’ Anthony Davis was a nominee in the West along with Luka Doncic (Mavs), Paul George (Clippers), Nikola Jokic (Nuggets) and Chris Paul (Suns). – 3:42 PM

Steph deserved POTW out West but it would’ve been a lot funnier if Jokic (averaging 24-14-10 last week) would’ve won it the week he got suspended. – 3:38 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Per PBP Stats, the Nuggets are allowing the 4th lowest shot quality in the league (expected eFG%) compared to the 7th lowest actual eFG% allowed.
I need someone big brained to tell me why their eFG% is going to regress, because I don’t think it will. At least not substantially. – 3:14 PM

New Wind Chimes
How quickly could Michael Porter Jr. return to the lineup? He’s been at Ball Arena daily, and the Nuggets are hoping he responds to treatment. I don’t get the sense that his MRI returned anything catastrophic.

Nikola Jokic currently has the highest single-season PER of all time. And it’s not close.
The gap between him (35.1) and the second player (Wilt Chamberlain at 32.1) is bigger than the gap between Wilt and the 45th player. pic.twitter.com/dswUcE5rf1 – 2:58 PM
