The Denver Nuggets won their first game since their coaching change with a 124-116 victory over the Sacramento Kings. Without former coach Michael Malone at the helm, the Nuggets definitely seemed to talk more and be more into the huddles. That translated into an overall improved effort from the Non-Jokic starters, with all of them scoring at least 18 points, which was Jalen Pickett’s career-high.

The Denver Nuggets head to Sacramento to face the Kings in an attempt to salvage the season, one day after Denver fired head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth. The Nuggets have lost four straight games, and how they looked in those losses was apparently the final straw for KSE Enterprises to fire its on-court and front office leaders and see if any spark remains in this season.

The Denver Nuggets left their defense in San Francisco and paid for it early and often as they lost to the Lakers 120-108. The Nuggets won the fourth quarter 31-15 to make the final score look more respectable than it really was with a whole quarter of garbage time. Denver started slow without Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray who were out with injuries, the Lakers came out on fire behind star Luka Doncic’s scoring while LeBron James also missed this one, and that was all she wrote for this game.

The Denver Nuggets head to Los Angeles to face the Lakers in a rematch of last week’s matchup in Denver. The Nuggets had one of their best all-around games of the year defeating the Golden State Warriors on Monday without Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Christian Braun. Russell Westbrook, Michael Porter Jr. and a big helping of Aaron Gordon at center really made a difference. Of course that came after one of the worst losses of the year, to the Washington Wizards in Denver.

The Denver Nuggets look to wash the taste of a poor loss out of their mouths as they host the Los Angeles Lakers Friday night at Ball Arena in Denver. Both teams are coming off a loss, with Denver hoping for a better effort than they mustered in a 20-point loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. The Lakers are on a 3-game skid, their most recent defeat also a 20 point loss against the Milwaukee Bucks last night despite 45 points from newly-acquired star Luka Doncic.

The Denver Nuggets didn’t look like they had it early, giving up 42 points to the Sacramento Kings in the first quarter, but fought all the way back to defeat the Kings 116-110 in Ball Arena. Nikola Jokic was defended by 2 and 3 Kings all night but still finished with 22 points, 15 rebounds and 6 assists. Denver lost the Nikola Jokic minutes by 7 and still won the game by 6, thanks to a mix of bench players and starters.
