Spencer Dinwiddie has played 24 G this season.
1st 12 G (9-3): 17.0 ppg, 6.0 apg, 42.9 FG%, 37.7 3PT%
Last 12 G (4-8): 9.3 ppg, 4.3 apg, 33.3 FG%, 27.8 3PT%
This has obviously not been the Wizards’ only problem, but he was great to start the year and a big reason why they won. – 11:55 PM

Michael Malone says the Nuggets have played the most road games and the fewest home games in the West. He says despite the .500 record coming into tonight, he loves where his team is at when you factor in the schedule, injuries, COVID: “I couldn’t be more proud of our group.” – 11:52 PM

Michael Malone calls Aaron Gordon “a warrior” postgame. Malone says Gordon didn’t go through shootaround this morning. Malone didn’t think he was playing tonight: “He’s cementing himself as one of the best defenders in the NBA and one of the more complete players in the NBA.” – 11:45 PM

Michael Malone went out of his way to commend Aaron Gordon, who played 40 minutes and guarded Bradley Beal for the vast majority of it.
Said he was establishing himself as one of the best defenders in the NBA, which is high praise. – 11:42 PM

Nuggets move back above .500 and to 14-13 on the season after tonight’s win. Denver has Minnesota at home Wednesday before a 3-game road trip (ATL, BKN, OKC). Austin Rivers should be back soon — maybe for Wednesday. He was on Denver’s bench tonight. – 11:25 PM

In his homecoming to Denver, Wes Unseld Jr. probably knows the Nuggets as well as they do.
A big coaching game from Unseld (he has admitted he has gotten out coached some games) could go a long way for the 3.5 point favorite underdog starting the West Coast trip off right. – 5:55 PM

Isaiah Thomas is signing with @NBAGrandRapids because of his relationship with Jason Terry.
There’s a slim chance he’s ultimately going to get called up to the #Nuggets, league source tells @denverpost. – 5:34 PM

Jokic averaged 28/13/11/2/1 on 55% shooting last week and didn’t win Player of the Week.
That might sound crazy until you look up the numbers LeBron put up last week.
