DEN vs IND ScoutingDEN vs IND Scouting
Welcome to the scouting desk. The coffee is cold, the film is play-by-play, and somebody has to explain what happened.
Every game has a hinge — a stretch where it was decided, usually while everyone was watching something else. Start where the evidence lives: the Lineups' face-offs say which five actually won their minutes; the Possessions ledger says who ran ahead of the night's own pace; the Shot Chart says where the points really came from, which is rarely where the highlights were. When all three agree, that is the story. When they don't — that is why this desk has a chair.

Nikola Jokic has 6th triple-double in 9 games as Nuggets beat Pacers 117-100
DENVER -- — Nikola Jokic had 32 points, 14 rebounds and 14 assists for his sixth triple-double in nine games this season, and the short-handed Denver Nuggets beat the Indiana Pacers 117-100 on Saturday night to sweep a four-game homestand.
Denver played without regulars Jamal Murray (left calf tightness) and Aaron Gordon (left hamstring) on the second game of a back-to-back. Jalen Pickett and Peyton Watson , who had a season-high 16 points, started instead.
Gordon, who missed 31 games last year with injuries, is averaging a career-best 20.1 points.
“If he feels something that can turn into something worse, there is a little bit of apprehension,” Denver coach David Adelman said before the game. “Aaron’s a guy we have to protect ... because there’s just not that many human beings that are that big and jump that high and explode like that.”
Indiana, which has been without multiple players at the start of the season, lost for the eighth time in nine games. The Pacers got Andrew Nembhard back from a left shoulder strain that cost him the last seven games.
Aaron Nesmith scored 25 points for Indiana and Nembhard added 22. Monte Morris , signed Friday, had one point in 15 minutes.
Jokic, who had a season-high eight turnovers, secured the triple-double on a pass to Cam Johnson with 7:49 left in the third quarter.
The Pacers rallied within 64-61 early in the third, aided by Gordon’s technical foul while sitting on the bench in street clothes.
The Nuggets led by 13 after three quarters and went up 109-88 on Jokic’s deep 3-pointer midway through the fourth.
