Jamal Murray is off to the best start of his career, although it might not be enough for him to finally get individual accolades.

The intent for the Nuggets is to have some extended versatility in Johnson as opposed to what Porter Jr. provides. As a defender, working off-ball offensively, and even an improved playmaker and facilitator as shown last season during a career year in Brooklyn– all in an effort to surround this Nikola Jokic-led group with the right tools for another championship run.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon achieved a rare feat with his career performance against the Golden State Warriors.

Nikola Jokic recorded his third triple-double in as many games to start the season; Jamal Murray had his best game of the season, and the Nuggets improved to 2-1 on Monday in Minneapolis. Here are three takeaways from Denver’s 127-114 win at the Target Center: 1.

He'll spend much of this season in the G League, but great for him to have this opportunity in Denver's home opener, put that notch in his belt when he could. pic.twitter.com/Bp8EDmvRXY

JJ Barea and Jared Dudley didn’t even suit up for the coaches, who still demolished the Denver media by a score of 114-16.

There was no need for a formal introduction when it was No. 11’s turn. After introducing David Adelman’s coaching staff, Kyle Speller, the Nuggets’ public address announcer, began working his way through the reserves minutes before tipoff of Saturday’s home opener against the Suns.

Carmelo Anthony was impressed with the Denver Nuggets’ performance, and one player, in particular, stood out to him. The Denver Nuggets picked up their second win of the season after taking down the Minnesota Timberwolves.
