Nuggets regulars should play again against Chicago, then Denver picks which of its two Los Angeles games to rest people, David Adelman said at practice. He'll take the injury risk with Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon since the group didn't play together last year.
the cuts are more opportunistic. So I've got to find ways to get in there.
Peyton Watson says his cutting has to change with the Cavaliers. In Denver he cut off double-teams on Nikola Jokic's post-ups, an engine he called "probably the most talented of all time." Now, "the cuts are more opportunistic. So I've got to find ways to get in there."
From Denver's practice: David Adelman pulled the regulars early, "just fatigue," not injuries. He'll manage Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon and others through preseason. Christian Braun "played through a lot" last year; getting his explosion back is key.
