The beginning of the Denver Nuggets season has been an interesting mix of old and new. Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, and Christian Braun are up to their old ways, establishing a strong baseline for the Nuggets to start the year. Cam Johnson, Tim Hardaway Jr, Bruce Brown, and Jonas Valanciunas represent what’s new about Denver this time around.
Later tonight, the Nuggets will face the Minnesota Timberwolves in what will be a tough matchup no matter the circumstance. Anthony Edwards might not play due to injury, and the Timberwolves are on the second night of a back-to-back. It shouldn’t matter though, because they’ve won six in a row against the Nuggets.
On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn debuts a new “3 and 3” segment for Monday’s, focusing on 3 things that happened last week and 3 things he’s looking forward to this week. Then, he previews the matchup vs the Minnesota Timberwolves and what to expect this season.
Pickaxe and Roll is the flagship Denver Nuggets show on Mile High Sports, posting every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday (unless otherwise specified). Ryan Blackburn breaks down the Nuggets in detail, bringing news, analytics, rotations, and more into a show for hardcore Nuggets fans.
