Austin Rivers tonight on the “dangerous” Pistons: “They have guys fighting for contracts. They have guys trying to prove themselves. When you’re a team like that, you go into each game just loose. I mean, what’s the worst that’s going to happen? Lose? They’ve been doing that.” pic.twitter.com/k8RG62f5dV – 1:11 AM

The Nuggets are as many losses away from the 3 seed as they are the 10 seed. Firmly in the playoff field before the beginning of this road trip. – 12:40 AM

I usually don’t go this route without a much bigger sample size, but the #Nuggets and Boogie Cousins should be a rest-of-the-season thing. Immediately love what he brings to the table from a toughness standpoint, and his willingness to play a role and help younger players. – 12:15 AM

OVer the last 10 games, the Nuggets have the 3rd-best offensive rating in the league with a mark of 117.4 and the 7th-best net rating at +5.6.
They are rediscovering their offensive rhythm and quickly. It helps that Jokic is on another level, but many players are stepping up. – 11:55 PM

DeMarcus Cousins practiced yesterday with the #Nuggets for the first time. Said he was watching Malone closely.
“I’m like, man, Mike, you kinda lost it. I’m used to the Mike that’s vein popping out the side of his head, freaking out on the sidelines.” – 11:49 PM

Similarly to Austin Rivers, Boogie was really entertaining to listen to, very candid. Said it felt like he “had two cement blocks” strapped to his feet.
He will get better. Said it was really nice to be back with “Mike Malone.” – 11:46 PM

I also asked Michael Malone about Will Barton, and coach noted that Barton has had to wear many hats and play different roles throughout his tenure in Denver.
Monte was struggling with Cory Joseph, and Will stepped up to get a big steal, demanding that assignment be switched. – 10:55 PM

This could be a big stretch for Denver. They have some tough games on the second night of back-to-backs but also some winnable games.

Final rotations for the Nuggets as they eek out a win over the Pistons.
-Jokić seals the game at the FT line, finishes with 34-9-8 on 19 shots
-When starters scored 70+ and bench scores 30+, DEN usually wins.

Staggering of lineups was a momentum shift, having a true Center out there with Demarcus Cousins puts pressure on the rim and opens things up for Facu Campazzo, and Bryn Forbes is knocking down shots. – 9:55 PM
