What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Michael Singer @msinger
You’ll be shocked to know the #Nuggets offense is struggling without Nikola Jokic. Utah already with 12 points in the paint, Denver with 2. – 10:22 PM
Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon
Unfortunately, Rudy Gobert (calf) vs. Nikola Jokic (toe) tonight will be a contest of who has the best bench outfit. – 10:00 PM
Duvalier Johnson @DuvalierJohnson
Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon and Boogie Cousins is OUT for tonight’s nationally televised game against Utah.
How fun. – 9:15 PM
Michael Singer @msinger
Nuggets announce DeMarcus Cousins is out, too.
So no Joker, AG or Boogie.
Maybe a big Bones or Zeke night? – 9:09 PM
Michael Singer @msinger

Nikola Jokic gets WC honor over Devin Booker, Luka Doncic, Jaren Jackson, Dejounte Murray, Anfernee Simons, K-A Towns. – 5:04 PM

Michael Singer @msinger
In January, Nikola Jokic recorded 7 triple-doubles, becoming the fifth player ever to have 7 or more in a month. The others are Westbrook, Robertson, Chamberlain and Jordan. – 3:18 PM
Sean Highkin @highkin
I see the NBA is taking an important step towards correcting the problem of nobody giving Nikola Jokic his flowers – 3:13 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Per Stathead, there have been 70 “15-game spans” of a center averaging at least 9 assists per game during that stretch.
Wilt Chamberlain has 43 of them.
Nikola Jokić has 27 of them.
Joker averaged 9.0 assists in 16 games this month. – 3:10 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
January’s Western Conference Player of the Month: Nikola Jokic. It’s his third career Player of the Month award. That ties Carmelo Anthony and Alex English for most Player of the Month awards in franchise history. – 3:05 PM
Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet

Michael Pina @MichaelVPina
embiid and jokic were just named the eastern and western conference players of the week.
on our most recent episode, we discussed these two in the mvp race (and why it might not be as close as people think) link.chtbl.com/open-floor?sid… – 3:05 PM

Well look at that, Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid are the #NBA Players of the Month pic.twitter.com/NpB9PubVUZ – 3:02 PM

JD Shaw @JShawNBA
Nuggets center Nikola Jokic and Sixers center Joel Embiid have been named the NBA Western and Eastern Conference Players of the Month, league says. pic.twitter.com/XDa1XTAGF2 – 3:00 PM

Shams Charania @ShamsCharania
NBA Players of the Month for January: Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic and 76ers’ Joel Embiid. – 3:00 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
DeMarcus Cousins on a 10-day feels integral to Denver’s bench right now, especially when playing against a competent backup 5. This was Minnesota’s first possession after Nikola Jokic subbed out late in the 1Q last night. Set the tone for a dominant run from Wolves’ second unit. pic.twitter.com/vXN2VhZHUM – 1:17 PM

Matt Williams @StatsWilliams
Ja Morant attacks every part of the paint.
He is on pace to become the 3rd player over the last 25 seasons to average at least 3 made shots in both the restricted area and non-restricted area part of the paint.
Others to do this?
Nikola Jokic
Shaquille O’Neal – 11:50 AM
Henry Abbott @TrueHoop
David Thorpe has been watching even more basketball since his dad died. @David Thorpe has picked a new title favorite (to replace the Bucks). Also notes on the Celtics’ D, Steven Adams, Scottie Barnes, Jokic, Kuzma and, of course, JA. https://t.co/fYDc2pmKfD pic.twitter.com/gg0Ce8FpYc – 10:50 AM

Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Final rotations for the Nuggets as they get trounced by the T’Wolves 130-115.
-Davon Reed with 10 points in 9 minutes, +14
-Markus Howard with 7 points in 9 minutes, +14
-Everyone else…ehhhhhh…Joker was good pic.twitter.com/Ljzbzguy9i – 10:21 PM

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
The Taurean Prince (+ bench) Game
Wolves 130, Nuggets 115
On tonight’s show:
– Prince keeps rollin, with the bench
– Another massive Vando game
– 24/10/7 for KAT against Jokic
– Pat Bev returns
– Ant’s All Star case
– Checking in on the defense – 10:19 PM
Michael Singer @msinger
Five-game winning streak is done. Still, encouraging to see Nikola Jokic standing and applauding at Zeke Nnaji’s effort as time ticks down.
#Nuggets fall to 28-22 with another one on tap from Utah tomorrow night. Will see you there. – 10:18 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Finch starting the 4th with Towns as Jokic rests, trying to throw the haymaker. – 9:54 PM
Michael Singer @msinger
We’ve now got Joker and four very small guards out here. Never seen a lineup like this. Bones, Bryn, Austin and Facu. – 9:47 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Wolves have taken their foot off the gas. A 28-point lead is down to 19 (coinciding with KAT’s exit after four fouls). Something in their favor: Jokic has to rest at some point. – 9:45 PM
Michael Singer @msinger
Nikola Jokic might have only a few minutes to snatch his 14th triple-double of the season tonight. He’s sitting on 19/9/8, but … it’s a 26-point game. – 9:37 PM
