Brendan Vogt: Jamal Murray said he’s mostly just happy for his dad, who really wanted him to make the All-Star game. But for Murray: “I want to be All-NBA. I feel like that’s a bigger award…I just have to stay hungry…” Said All-NBA means you kept it going all season long.
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.

But after the Nets had rallied from a 19-point deficit to take a 94-92 lead, they coughed up an 8-0 Nuggets run and never recovered. “There was a little motivation,” Michael Porter Jr. said. “We should’ve pulled it out, though. I felt like I missed a couple shots I should’ve made down the stretch.” It was only because of Porter’s big night that the Nets (12-34) were in it down the stretch. Jamal Murray (27 points) hit two free throws to put Brooklyn in a 62-43 hole against a Nuggets team playing sans Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon.
Vinny Benedetto: Aaron Gordon is out for tomorrow’s game in Memphis with a right hamstring strain. Nikola Jokic, Christian Braun and Cam Johnson remain out. Jamal Murray, Peyton Watson and Jonas Valanciunas are questionable again.
Paul Pierce: The two guys that should have been voted in for sure, 100%, should have been… Kevin Garnett: Jamal Murray. Pierce: LeBron James and Anthony Edwards should have been voted in. Q. Voting's only for the fans, only 50% now. Then it's 25% players, then 25% media. So, they changed the fan voting. Paul Pierce: We need to take the media out… Kevin Garnett: Take the media out of it, bro. Give it to the fans, this is a fan event… Q. But fans have like in years past like Zaza Pachulia, and Yao Ming, people were getting voted in like that. Pierce: But we running up. Hey, listen. If they got those people voting them in, right? That means more money coming in.

Vinny Benedetto: Aaron Gordon is good to go. Jamal Murray, Jonas Valanciunas and Peyton Watson are out tonight, the Nuggets announce.
Vinny Benedetto: Final: Nuggets 107, Wizards 97. Denver avoids the first three-game losing streak of the season behind a career night from Peyton Watson (35-8-3-2-4 on 10-16 FG, 6-8 3PT). Jamal Murray scores 19 of his 24 after halftime. Jonas Valanciunas posts 16 and 8 in 22 minutes in his return.
Vinny Benedetto: Jonas Valanciunas is available to make his return tonight in Washington. Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon and Tim Hardaway Jr. are also available.
