The Nuggets were up by 25 going into the fourth quarter, allowing them to rest stars Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter Jr. for the final period. Jokic and Porter Jr. were coming off historic performances against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night and followed it up with another insane outing.

Jokić was selected by Barkley third-overall in the draft and will play for Team Chuck. Jokić is joined by a slew of international NBA talent including Giannis Antetokounmpo, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Victor Wembanyama, Pascal Siakam and Alperen Şengün, along with Karl Anthony-Towns and Donovan Mitchell.

The Denver Nuggets won their fifth game in a row tonight, defeating the Orlando Magic 112-90 in blowout fashion.

Michael Porter Jr. has kept his focus on swishing shots, not the swirling trade rumors. He’s tuned them out, in fact, and turned up his game. On Wednesday night, the Denver Nuggets' sharpshooting forward tied a career high with 39 points in a 144-119 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
