In this episode, Adam Mares, Dev Johnson, and Harrison Wind sit down with Zeke Nnaji for a conversation about the rookie forwards’ path to the NBA, the unique NBA draft process during quarantine, and his first months in the NBA. Nnaji is averaging 10 points per game over his last 3 games and shooting 8 of 12 over that stretch.…

It's hard to see how the Nuggets can take Nnaji out of their rotation even when Denver gets fully healthy

It’s not every day you see a goaltending call on a half-court heave to beat the buzzer. It’s even rarer for that to be the decisive play of the game. One can make a strong argument that’s what went down in Ball Arena Friday night, as the Nuggets went on to win 97-95 after Hamidou Diallo committed that same crime…...

Head Coach of the Denver Nuggets Michael Malone had his back against a wall with the Cleveland Cavaliers in town Wednesday night. With multiple players out due to injury, and his stars running on fumes, he debuted new lineups and finally smashed the emergency glass protecting Zeke Nnaji. Nnaji brought a fresh look, Facundo Campazzo brought the energy, and R.J.…...

Michael Porter Jr. needed a bounce-back performance in the worst way. He got one Wednesday against the Cavs.

The Milwaukee Bucks had the Denver Nuggets right where they wanted them Monday night. That’s to say; they were down at halftime. The Nuggets blew yet another tired in the third quarter as the Bucks ripped control of the game away and closed the door in the fourth. Nikola Jokić was herculean, Jamal Murray no-showed, and MPJ-related tension boiled over.…...

On a missed three, a telling reaction from the Nuggets' superstar, and some honest postgame commentary.

Nikola Jokić responded from a down game against the Lakers with the best scoring outburst of his career. He set a new career-high with 50 points, but the Denver Nuggets fell to the Sacramento Kings for the third time this season. Jokić reached new heights, MPJ scraped the floor, and the Nuggets missed Jamal Murray and Gary Harris in a…...

The Denver Nuggets sat pretty at halftime of their Thursday night matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. Nikola Jokić had yet to find a rhythm, yet Denver led by 12. That was the peak, and the nadir followed shortly after. Another third-quarter implosion let a significant win slip through the cracks of their fingers. Jamal Murray struggled, the Lakers had…...

The Nuggets were one half away from a statement win. Then, Denver's third-quarter struggles surfaced once again.

Altitude analyst, reporter, and host Katy Winge was kind enough to catch up with DNVR during a little down time in her busy schedule. DNVR/Mike Olson: Hello! Been a little while! Last we chatted, Altitude had just assigned you to multiple roles. You seem to be thriving, and it feels as if things have only expanded. Katy Winge: It’s wonderful.…...

The Nuggets are hot right now, but so is most of the West. The guys weigh in on whether Denver is really all the way back.

The Nuggets and Pistons were set to play Monday. Suddenly, the game was off.

The Denver Nuggets are cruising after stopping the hottest team in the NBA dead in its tracks. The Utah Jazz is the sharpest buzzsaw in the league right now. Or, was, before they ran into Nikola Jokić and the Denver Nuggets. Denver’s superstar was transcendent, putting together his best scoring performance of the season (T–Career High: 47) and perhaps his…...

Defenses can't decide how to guard Nikola Jokic this season. But you feel for them. There's really no good option.

The Denver Nuggets led 90-89 late in the final leg of their five-game road trip. They looked primed to pick up their sixth straight win and cap off a 5-0 trip as they prepare for a brutal stretch of schedule upon returning home. But the turnovers and general lack of discipline reared their ugly heads. Malone turned away from Michael…...

1. People think of “chemistry” as an offensive attribute but is just as much a sign of familiarity and connection on the defensive end of the floor. In the clip below, Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic execute a great, quick switch back after Murray gets witched out onto a big. Plays like this as well as seamless rotations are a…...
