Keys to tonight’s game
Nuggets vs Pelicans

🔑 Bench production
🔑 Limit Pels O-Boards – last 5 avg 18 2nd chance pts/game – 8:00 PM

Michael Malone said that Will Barton did not participate in shootaround and that he will talk to trainers to see if Barton can/should give it a go.
He lamented that the hits just keep coming, but it’s an opportunity for someone to step up. Opted not to share who would start, – 6:33 PM
