Nuggets' Jalen Pickett: Drops career-high 18 points
Pickett ended with 18 points (6-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 124-116 win over the Kings.
Making his fourth start in the last five games while Jamal Murray (hamstring) has been sidelined, Pickett established new career highs in points and made three-pointers. The second-year guard has played over 20 minutes in all six games that Murray has missed so far, averaging 9.3 points, 4.7 assists, 3.7 boards and 1.8 threes in 27.8 minutes a contest.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Pops for 21 in Sacramento
Porter racked up 21 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 124-116 victory over the Kings.
The 26-year-old wing remains a key source of secondary offense for the Nuggets behind Nikola Jokic. Porter has scored in double digits in 22 straight appearances dating back to Feb. 22, and he's scored at least 20 points in six of his last 11 outings, averaging 18.6 points, 7.2 boards, 2.7 assists, 2.7 threes, 1.1 steals and 0.7 blocks during that time.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Hits for 21 in win
Gordon finished Wednesday's 124-116 win over the Kings with 21 points (9-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and five assists over 35 minutes.
It was a strong showing from the veteran forward as he tries to find consistency ahead of the postseason. Gordon has scored 20 or more points in five of his last 10 appearances, but he's also scored in single digits three times, averaging 18.4 points, 4.7 boards, 4.3 assists and 1.8 threes over that stretch.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Supplies team-high 25 in win
Braun accumulated 25 points (9-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 124-116 victory over the Kings.
The third-year guard led the Nuggets in scoring on the night as all five starters delivered at least 18 points. Braun has scored in double digits in 10 straight appearances, averaging 17.8 points, 6.3 boards, 3.2 assists, 1.6 threes and 0.9 steals over that span while shooting a stunning 62.8 percent from the floor.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Another triple-double Wednesday
Jokic notched 20 points (5-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 12 rebounds, 11 assists and four steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 124-116 win over the Kings.
It's the 33rd triple-double of the season for Jokic and his fourth in six appearances since returning from an ankle injury. The perennial MVP candidate is averaging 36.8 points, 12.2 boards, 9.8 assists, 2.8 threes and 2.3 steals during that six-game stretch, and the Nuggets' shocking late-season coaching change doesn't seem to have derailed Jokic's focus or momentum as the team tried to make sure it avoids dropping back into the Play-In Tournament.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Ruled out vs. Sacramento
Murray (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
Murray will miss a sixth straight game due to a right hamstring injury. It remains uncertain if the star point guard will return before the NBA playoffs, as only two games remain for Denver after the matchup in Sacramento. The Nuggets will likely continue to lean on Russell Westbrook and Jalen Pickett to shoulder the load in the backcourt.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Not expected to play Wednesday
Murray is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Kings with right hamstring inflammation.
Murray is not expected to play against Sacramento, which would mark his sixth straight absence. The star guard is running out of time if he wants to return before the end of the regular season, with his next chance to take the floor coming Friday against Memphis if he's ultimately ruled out for Wednesday. Russell Westbrook has averaged 14.3 points, 5.3 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 0.5 blocks in 28.2 minutes over his last six games, and he should continue to see a bump in ball-handling duties.

Nuggets' Russell Westbrook: Bounces back off bench
Westbrook provided 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 24 minutes during Sunday's 125-120 loss to the Pacers.
Westbrook's final stat line didn't help Denver secure the victory, but there's no question this was a bounce-back effort for the veteran floor general, who had been heavily criticized in recent games. Despite the recent criticism and a few subpar performances, Westbrook is averaging 16.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game over his last five outings, which all came with Jamal Murray (hamstring) sidelined.
