No one has kept to their word more than Aaron Gordon when he said he needed to become a smarter basketball player to better compliment Nikola Jokic.

Cavs are not thinking about getting over the screen for Aaron Gordon switches.
They are okay with whichever result when he is pulling up for 3-pointers. – 7:00 PM

Only got 2 possessions of the very intriguing KCP-Strawther-MPJ-Gordon-Jokic lineup and on neither of the possessions did Jokic touch the ball in the half court. – 7:00 PM

Nuggets might have found something with this lineup: Caldwell-Pope, Braun, Strawther, Gordon, Jokic. No traditional point guard, but two knockdown shooters, great defense, length, and tons of interchangeable parts. – 6:57 PM

Ball is poppin’ for the Nuggets to finish up the 1st half. Looking more like Denver Nuggets basketball and they have fought back in this one.
Ties up at 53-53. – 6:57 PM

I really hope the Nuggets try popping Zeke more with the 2nd unit. He isn’t a lob threat and his offensive rebounding isn’t as valuable when you can’t generate good shots. – 6:32 PM

MPJ shooting at all three levels is a good thing. Some other things are less good, but if he needs a break from defense early to get his own offense working I’ll put up with it for now. That vein in Malone’s forehead is probably pulsing though as NO ONE is covering the 3 pt line. – 6:25 PM

Strong start for Michael Porter Jr. in Cleveland. He’s a quick 2-2 from 3-point range, 10 first-quarter points. He may finally be out of that shooting slump. – 6:25 PM

Heading into today’s game, the Nuggets have lost three straight road games.
Haven’t won on the road since a blowout win in OKC on October 30th.
Playing Cleveland in the 2nd of five straight road games. Denver’s got Detroit tomorrow, who are losing by 36 to Toronto right now. – 5:36 PM
