The Nuggets promised weird. JaVale McGee delivered.
With only four days left in the regular season, the Nuggets started Thursday’s tilt with a supersized front court of McGee and Nikola Jokic. It paved the way for a convincing 114-103 win over Minnesota, improving their record to 46-24 with only two games left.
When the Nuggets suit up against the Pistons on Friday night, there’s no telling who’ll be available. At this time of the year, nothing’s more important than rest.
“It was one of those situations where, if he’s going to play, he’s going to play,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said of playing Jokic.
