Donovan Mitchell and Jamal Murray have now played the exact same number of playoff games (33).

Michael Porter Jr. tonight: 27 points, 1 FTA

After going 4-for-9 from deep tonight, Bones Hyland (101) joined Jamal Murray (115) as the only players in Nuggets franchise history to make 100+ threes in their rookie season.
Hyland will have 13 games to make 15 threes and surpass Murray for the rookie record.

Additionally:
Embiid will be missing his 7th game against MIL/DEN over the last three seasons.

Antetokounmpo has missed none against DEN/PHI.

The Nuggets’ weighted age (by minutes played) as a team this postseason was just 27.4 years old.

With tonight’s Nuggets win and Grizzlies loss, Denver now has a 5-game lead (loss column) over the second seed in the West, through 60 games.

A tough whistle for an MVP?
Nikola Jokic is getting just 18.3 percent of his points from the free throw line this season.

Tonight was the fourth time Nikola Jokic & Michael Porter Jr. went for 25+ points and 10+ rebounds on 60% or better shooting in the same game.

As a reminder, Michael Porter Jr. has made 242 threes on 41.9% shooting in his career.

Denver doesn’t make a move like this for an expiring Bryn Forbes unless they really believe they have a shot this season.

Likely MVP-winner Joel Embiid played in 43 wins this season for the Sixers.
Since the media began voting for MVP, that would be the fewest wins contributed to by an MVP, with the next lowest being 46.

Denver shot 34.0% today. To find the last time they shot that poorly (regular or postseason) you have to go back 412 games, to November 23, 2016 - a game that Jokic came off the bench behind Nurkic.

With the season coming to an end, thought I’d share some of the basic stats that help illustrate the latest MVP campaign by Nikola Jokic:

It’s been over five years since he won a game against Jamal Murray, can’t blame him for the frustration. Last time he faced off against Murray and won, the Nuggets started Plumlee and Jokic together.

Jokic takes 473 career games to get triple-double number 62. Harden reached that mark in his 897th career game.
On a back-to-back tonight in San Antonio: Nikola Jokic gets his 3rd triple-double in his last three games and the 62nd triple-double of his career. He's now tied with James Harden for the 7th-most in NBA history.

The Nuggets’ 29 free throw attempts through their first 3 games ranks as the fewest attempts by a team through 3 games since 1963-64.
They shattered the record for the previous low, the 2017-18 Kings who had 36 attempts through 3 games.

MPJ said after the Nuggets faced Orlando last week, he and Aaron Gordon had a moment where Gordon said he was hoping to see him soon.

Had LeBron James played tonight and the Lakers lost, it would mean James ends this season with a 20-21 career regular season record against the Nuggets.
He currently does not have a losing record against any team.
Lakers' LeBron James is listed out vs. Denver tonight due to left ankle soreness.

In the first half tonight, Julian Strawther became the second rookie in Nuggets history to make 5+ threes in a half, joining Carmelo Anthony (did so on 12/26/03).
He’s the first rookie in the last 20 years - for Denver or otherwise - to have 5+ threes and 4+ steals in a half.
