Dusted off in victory

Jordan was dusted off once again, playing minutes as the backup center after Nikola Jokic was once again ruled out due to personal reasons. Primarily serving as a veteran leader in the locker room, there is no reason to think Jordan's role will extend beyond spot minutes when the Nuggets are shorthanded.

Rare appearance Tuesday

Alexander appeared for just the fourth time this season, logging a career-high nine minutes. While it's great to see a rookie getting some burn, there is no indication this is the start of a trend. Alexander should continue to be used sparingly on a team pushing for as many victories as possible.

Strong two-way effort

Watson chipped in on both ends of the floor, continuing to provide serviceable production following the injury to Aaron Gordon. Despite foul trouble, Watson reminded everyone just what he can do when afforded meaningful minutes, playing as a primary defender, while also being able to spread the floor on the offensive end. Until Gordon returns, Watson should remain a key piece for the Nuggets.

Posts triple-double No. 200 in win

Westbrook recorded his 200th career regular-season triple-double, and his first as a member of the Nuggets. The 2017 MVP also posted season highs in both assists and rebounds while leading the bench in scoring against Memphis. The best years of his career are behind him, though the 36-year-old has proven he can still be a solid contributor in the league. Westbrook has averaged 10.8 points, 6.0 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals across 24.9 minutes per game in 13 regular-season outings (three starts).

Out for remainder of game Tuesday

Cancar left the game at the 3:47 mark of the second quarter after landing awkwardly on his left leg following a dunk. The Nuggets are calling it a left knee sprain, though the forward will likely undergo further testing to make sure there is no significant damage to the knee.
