Game Recap
Jamal Murray's 52-point eruption powered Denver past Indiana, as the Nuggets' offensive firepower overwhelmed a Pacers squad that couldn't keep pace in a high-scoring affair. Murray, who added 6 rebounds and 4 assists, set the tone early and sustained it throughout, while Nikola Jokić orchestrated the offense with 24 points, 8 rebounds, and 13 assists. The combined final of 255 landed squarely OVER the market total of 238.5, surpassing expectations by 16.5 points in a game that stayed remarkably balanced through the first three quarters before exploding in the fourth.
The scoring stayed tightly distributed early: Q1 combined for 61, Q2 for 59, and Q3 for 61. The first half totaled 120 combined points, suggesting a defensive grind. But Q4 shattered that narrative, with the teams combining for 74 points—the game's highest-scoring quarter by far—as Denver pulled away. Nikola Jokić's playmaking (13 assists) kept the Nuggets' attack flowing, while Pascal Siakam led Indiana's effort with 23 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists. Andrew Nembhard chipped in 16 points and 7 assists, and Bennedict Mathurin added 15 points and 7 rebounds, but Denver's scoring depth and Murray's individual brilliance proved decisive.
DAGGER leaned under on the 238.5 total—it missed. The second half's 135 combined points, driven by that fourth-quarter surge, punished the unders and validated Denver's road victory, 135–120.
