Since like game 6 of the season?
It's been a long time. I didn't bother to check.

Poop. I was hoping the Pelicans would give Jokic a tough game tonight so he’d be a little gassed tomorrow.Load management for Nikola Jokic?
He will not play against the Pelicans tonight.

Agreed but they are resting Jokic tonight against the Pelicans. They’re 3/22 in the first half from three at halftime. Murray has a couple threes but no one else is coming along.Must win with Denver coming in off a game tonight.

But if he’s got an injury, I really think the Nuggets would be smart to rest him a little longer.
From the Nuggets perspective it's not really big. In terms of the Suns every game counts. Warrior, Peleicans and Timberwolves are nipping at our heels. The good news is we own the tie braker on all those teams.Why does it feel like this (if Jokic plays) is one of the biggest games of the season?

Denver rested Jokic last night and got throttled by the Pelicans - I'm figuring tonight's game to be a heat check for both squads - mvp vs former mvp - last year's best record vs this year's best record (in the west) - for some reason Jokic admires Ayton - and for some (probably the same) reason Ayton actually plays like a big against JokicWe will see. The Nuggets may be in not show all your cards mode.
The Suns play them again April 6th at home.

Headed to the store later for some Absolute and garlic stuffed olives - spidey senses tingly AF lolI guess we will find out quickly by the atmosphere in the building tonight. Big games carry electricity in the crowd.
As of an hour ago. Injury status. Deniver sure isn't tipping their hat just yet.Denver rested Jokic last night and got throttled by the Pelicans - I'm figuring tonight's game to be a heat check for both squads - mvp vs former mvp - last year's best record vs this year's best record (in the west) - and for some reason Jokic admires Ayton - and for some (probably the same) reason Ayton actually plays like a big against Jokic
I don't think the Nuggets think this game is very important if all these starters sit. Makes sense. They are in first. I will take it though. Every win the Suns get builds a cushion.I'm wondering who traveled for the Nuggets.

They're deep and it's a team game. There is no "I" in Denver.As of an hour ago. Injury status. Deniver sure isn't tipping their hat just yet.
Nikola Jokic (calf) - TBD (Game time decision)
Jamal Murray (injury management) - TBD (Game time decision)
Michael Porter Jr. (injury management) - TBD (Game time Decision)
Load management for Nikola Jokic?

This would be really disappointing. I've been to nearly 20 games this year and I don't know that I can think of one game, aside from the opener, that was a marquee matchup and both teams had all their best players active.
And there have been several where the outcome was decided before tip off.
