Nuggets went almost all of last night without any points at the free throw line.
They’re gonna try the same thing at the three-point line tonight.
Upping the stakes, keeping life interesting. I’m down. – 10:40 PM

Pels lose another winnable game on the road. Coby White ends up making as many 3s as NOLA (8). Rough back-to-back. Next up is the IST game at Sacramento on Monday. – 10:29 PM

An aggressive Jokic to start this game. Kinda figured he would be. Any time he has a subpar scoring game is usually followed by a sublime scoring game immediately. – 10:18 PM

Sacramento wins the tip. Nuggets get a stop on the game’s first possession but not the second. Nikola Jokic fouls Domantas Sabonis makes a pair of free throws to open the scoring. – 10:13 PM

It’s time for my nightly poor Prize Picks selections. 37 combined pts/reb/assists seems low for Sabonis. 51.5 seems high for Jokic. Murray is out, so ignore that pick. Kings need big games from Huerter and Fox. Send me your picks! pic.twitter.com/8PuLyvmVIU – 9:38 PM
