Nuggets entered tonight with the second-worst three-point percentage in the NBA for the season. They’ve opened 3 of 4 from deep tonight. – 9:23 PM

Nuggets with a 7-0 run to put them up 18-12 over Miami early.
Monte Morris has been a pleasant surprise offensively as he’s attacking and getting to his spots. He’s 3-3 from the field and up to 7 points. – 9:20 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Denver’s defense has been great, led by Jokić, which is still an insane thing to say. – 9:19 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Nuggets have made 7 of their first 10 shots. Heat down 18-12. – 9:19 PM

The only baskets Miami has so far is getting Duncan Robinson free, which isn’t a surprise with Denver only playing two guards IMO. – 9:16 PM

Vinny Benedetto @VBenedetto
Duncan Robinson misses the first 3 of the night. Will Barton III hits the first 3 of the night on the other end to give the Nuggets an early lead. – 9:13 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
With Duncan Robinson’s first 3-pointer, he made it 58 consecutive games with a 3-pointer, breaking he franchise record he set in 2019-20. He is the lone player in franchise history to do it in 50 or more consecutive games. – 9:12 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Duncan Robinson just set a new franchise record with a three made in 58 consecutive games. Robinson also had the previous record of 57 games, which he set in 2019-20. – 9:12 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Robinson opens 1 of 2 on 3s, the Heat’s first two shots. – 9:12 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
The fact that it went this long until listing Max Strus out is just wild lol
Recovery speed continues – 9:03 PM

#Rapids96 defender Auston Trusty is taking the first shot at the Nuggets game tonight. Will report back. – 9:01 PM

Max Strus (knee) is out tonight for Heat. (But close enough that Wednesday vs. Lakers is possible.) – 8:57 PM

The Nuggets are outscoring teams by 14.2 points per 100 possessions with Jokic on the court this season.
Without Jokic in the game, the Nuggets have been outscored by 21.6 points per 100 possessions. – 8:55 PM
Joe Vardon @joevardon
The fact that the Nuggets are internally talking about when Michael Porter Jr returns, instead of a third back surgery, is a good sign. @The Athletic theathletic.com/news/nuggets-m… – 8:53 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Tonight marks the 157th consecutive regular-season appearance by Duncan Robinson, one shy of Bam Adebayo’s fourth-longest such streak in the Heat’s 34 seasons. The record is 174 consecutive appearances by Glen Rice from 1992 to ’94. – 8:52 PM

Keys to the game
Nuggets vs Heat
🔑 Drain from Deep – they will get looks, knock them down
🔑 Second Unit Sizzle – COMPETE
🔑 Defend without Fouling (15 FTA between Butler & Adebayo, that’s more than the entire Nuggets team averages)

Sometimes Heat pest Jeff Green starting for Nuggets, alongside Monte Morris, Will Barton, Aaron Gordon and Nikola Jokic. – 8:35 PM
Denver Nuggets @nuggets
New face in the starting 5⃣
#MileHighBasketball pic.twitter.com/6BRGs530Es – 8:31 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Nuggets are going with Jeff Green instead of PJ Dozier in the starting unit, which has several ramifications.
Most notably to me is likely Zeke Nnaji or Bol Bol with the second unit playing next to JaMychal Green. – 8:31 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Nuggets are moving Jeff Green into the starting lineup in place of Michael Porter Jr. tonight vs. Miami. He starts alongside Monte Morris, Will Barton, Aaron Gordon and Nikola Jokic. – 8:30 PM

Miami’s going to be throwing nonstop doubles at Nikola Jokic tonight
Want to see how they approach bigs of his caliber – 8:27 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Erik Spoelstra on Denver’s 2nd ranked defense: “They run a good program, well-schooled, well-coached. They have the corporate knowledge of a lot of guys that have been in the system. Defensively, they can shift from different schemes during the course of a game.” – 8:21 PM

In response to @CoupNBA’s question about Kyle Lowry’s screening, Erik Spoelstra compared Lowry to John Stockton. Kind of interesting. pic.twitter.com/y9L5hxLfVO – 7:46 PM

#MIAvsDEN INJURY UPDATE: Coach Spo says Max Strus (knee) will warmup pregame but probably won’t play in tonight’s game. – 7:37 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Nuggets coach Michael Malone very complimentary of the Heat during his pregame session with the media, citing the Heat’s toughness, rebounding and shooting. “It’s going to be a hell of a challenge,” Malone said. – 7:23 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Michael Malone on Michael Porter Jr. says he is “out for the foreseeable future.” – 7:21 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Michael Malone says Michael Porter Jr. is out of the lineup for the “foreseeable future.” – 7:21 PM
Vinny Benedetto @VBenedetto
Michael Malone says there’s “no real update” on Michael Porter jr. Malone adds MPJ is out for the “foreseeable future.” Sounds like they’re still doing testing and imaging, but they’ll be cautious. @CSGazetteSports – 7:19 PM
Katy Winge @katywinge
Excited to be back in the analyst seat for the first time this season tonight!
Denver must be good from the start (and all game) against Miami – Heat have a +7.6 ppg differential in the first quarter.
Nuggets need to hit some 3’s (they’ll get open ones) & take care of boards. – 6:36 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Tonight’s game is going to be fascinating.
Morris, Barton, and Dozier vs Lowry, Robinson, and Butler in the backcourt should be a good defensive matchup for both teams honestly. Gordon will also switch onto Butler (or simply guard him) often. – 6:14 PM

Opps. are shooting a league-high 42.6 3-pointers against Miami, & opps. are making jut 32%, the fifth-lowest percentage in the league.
I don’t need to tell you, but the #Nuggets are shooting only 29% from outside on the year. Curious where the offense comes from tonight. – 3:48 PM
John Hollinger @johnhollinger
