Brandon Rahbar: Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray are good to go tonight vs OKC. Thunder missing Jalen Williams, Alex Caruso and Ajay Mitchell. Nuggets missing Aaron Gordon, Christian Braun and Cam Johnson. Neither team is close to full strength. But both teams have an MVP and 1st time All Star.
Justin Martinez: Asked Mark Daigneault about Ajay Mitchell being named a Rising Star: “I’m really happy for him. He would’ve been on that game last year had he not gotten hurt. He was certainly on that trajectory. … For him to be acknowledged in that way, we’re incredibly happy for him. He’s a great team guy and a hard worker. He’s doing all of the right things from a program standpoint.”

After the win, Daigneault responded to Mitchell's perfect shooting performance and his role with the Thunder this season. “He's obviously a very talented player and a really impactful player, really efficient player,” Daigneault said. “It's hard to establish yourself and be on the gas on a team that's really good — a team that's pretty established that you're coming into. And he's found an unbelievable blend and has threaded a very nice needle of asserting himself, and really not flinching. “Not being afraid, and being on the gas, but also doing it in a way that's not inappropriate with what the rest of the team is doing. He's got a great diet on that. It's really impressive, and he competes on the other end. So, it makes it really easy to ride with him. He played a great game tonight,” Daigneault concluded.
Justin Martinez: Here's the injury report for OKC's game against Atlanta tonight: Isaiah Joe is available after exiting yesterday's game with neck soreness. But Ajay Mitchell (left shin contusion) is questionable, and Isaiah Hartenstein (right soleus strain) is out.
