- On Friday night, the Denver Nuggets defeated the Utah Jazz 129-93, with Nikola Jokic scoring 27 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists in just three quarters at Ball Arena.
- Jamal Murray tweaked his hamstring against the Milwaukee Bucks two nights prior, leading to Malone giving him the night off against the bottom-scraping Jazz.
- Peyton Watson was tasked by Michael Malone to focus on making Collin Sexton's night difficult, while the Jazz starters included Cody Williams, Kyle Filipowski, Oscar Tshiebwe and Isaiah Collier, who struggled with 0-7 shooting.

- During the second quarter, Nikola Jokic made a remarkable 62-foot shot at the halftime buzzer, adding to his already prolific performance and solidifying his reputation for hitting ridiculous shots from distance, although he previously made a 66-footer against the Kings a little over two months ago.
