What about performances from Nikola Jokic (10:00), Jamal Murray (12:00) and Michael Porter Jr. (14:30)? How about everyone else (18:30)?

    2020/12/16
    Dave DuFour and Kendra Andrews return to answer five of the biggest questions looming over the Denver Nuggets heading into the 2021 season. Chiefly, who will fill the void Jerami Grant left (1:45)? Could we see a rejuvenated Paul Millsap? Is a Millsap, JaMychal Green Zeke Nnaji rotation talented enough to recreate Grant's production from last season? Who will step up as the team's best defender (7:00)? Will the club be resigned to tasking Gary Harris with the most difficult matchup? Plus, Jamal Murray will no longer be hid on defense. Who do Dave and Kendra believe will comprise the starting lineup (12:00)? Is Michael Porter Jr. a for-sure regular? Who can we expect to impact the team off the bench? Though not a betting man, Dave believes Nikola Jokic has a puncher's chance of being a contender for MVP (14:15). Does the short turnaround to start the year bode well for Jokic? Lastly, what are the duo's expectation for Denver this year (19:15)? Follow Kendra on Twitter: @kendra_andrews Follow Dave on Twitter: @DaveDuFourNBA Get a subscription, gift a subscription!
