Jalen Pickett · With Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and every other key rotation piece sidelined, the Denver Nuggets handed Jalen Pickett the keys and watched him drive straight into franchise lore. The third-year guard ran the show against Philadelphia, repeatedly pulling up from deep while a depleted Nuggets squad stunned the 76ers in front of their home crowd. Pickett rises off the dribble and cashes another three-pointer, part of a career-high seven makes from deep that kept Denver breathing all the way into overtime. He finished with a career-best 29 points on 7-for-11 from three and seven assists in the 125-124 overtime road win. · State of Mint
