Not playing! Sudden hamstring strain! This is the starting core of the Nuggets

The Nuggets data are as follows:

The Rockets data are as follows:

What? Durant only scored 13 points and failed to score on 3 shots in the final quarter. It seems that the God of Death is not at work in this game.

The 37-year-old KD seems a little tired this season. So far, he has averaged 24.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 3 turnovers and 1 steal per game. His two field goal percentages are 48.7% and 36.4%. His scoring average is the lowest since his rookie season, and his field goal percentage is the lowest in nearly 13 seasons.

So far, the Rockets have 10 wins and 4 losses and are ranked fifth in the Western Conference. The Nuggets are ranked second in the Western Conference with 12 wins and 3 losses, second only to the Thunder (16 wins and 1 loss). The Lakers are third in the Western Conference with 11 wins and 4 losses. The Spurs are also fourth in the Western Conference with 11 wins and 4 losses.

They are only fifth in the Western Conference. The Rockets' record obviously did not meet expectations. Although everyone knows that they are missing a starting point guard, many members of the team can be traded on December 15 this year. It will be a good opportunity to find out and fill in the gaps.

By the way, the Nuggets paid a heavy price for winning the game against the Rockets. Core forward Gordon only played about 3 minutes before retiring due to a hamstring strain. He was suspended indefinitely without a clear timetable for his return. The coach said that he would have to be absent for a period of time.

Gordon plays an important role in the Nuggets. He is Jokic's best partner, the team's best defensive gate, and the team's third or even second offensive firepower. No one can replace him, and we can only look forward to his early return.

This guy has averaged 28.3 minutes per game so far this season, contributing 18.8 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists, shooting 53.2% from the field, and averaging 2.2 three-pointers per game at a 44.4% shooting rate. In the regular season opener, he scored 10 of 11 three-pointers in a single game and scored 50 points.

NBA Lu Bu is well-deserved.

As long as they stay healthy, the Nuggets may still be the only team that can challenge the Thunder's "dominance." In the second round of this year's playoffs, the Nuggets and Thunder fought hard for 7 games before losing. The game was so confusing that it was impossible to completely tell who was stronger and which was weaker?

It is particularly worth mentioning that the outside world predicts that the Thunder will have a record of 77 wins and 5 losses this season, thus surpassing the 73 wins and 9 losses set by the Warriors in the 15-16 season...
