Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets Take On Phoenix | A Seven Game Win Streak is On the Table

Matt Moore and Adam Mares break down the Nuggets' eighth-straight win over the Los Angeles Lakers. No matter what the Lakers do, the Nuggets just find a way to get it done in the clutch. Why the Rui Hachimura Defense has not only failed but started to fail even worse. MPJ goes 10-of-10 from the field, Justin Holiday contributes, and the Nuggets are still the Lakers' daddy. What does a six-game win streak for the Nuggets mean and can they make a push for the 1-seed?  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!NissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV’s with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

Daddy Issues: Nuggets Beat Lakers Again

Matt Moore and Swipa break down the Nuggets' win over the Heat in a 2023 Finals Rematch. Despite being on a back to back, despite losing Jamal Murray, despite a subpar game from Nikola Jokic, Denver out-grits the grittiest team in the league to get the win. MPJ steps up big time on both ends of the floor with four stocks and 30 points in a double-double, and Jokic slams the door. Christian Braun closes over Reggie Jackson, which Matt doesn't agree with, and Jamal Murray is banged up but shouldn't miss too much time. They preview the Lakers game and talk why Miami can still win the East on Locked On Nuggets.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDON GrammarlyWhen it comes to writing, Grammarly is there to support you from start to finish.

Jamal Murray and the Nuggets Destroy the Kings | Jokic Triple-Double | Nuggets Vs Heat Preview

Matt Moore and Adam Mares talk about Nikola Jokic's text message to get the team ready for the stretch run and how he's evolved as a leader. It wasn't always guaranteed Jokic would become this type of player, but he has, and it's awesome. Then, the Kings are 3-0 vs. Denver this year. Is this a tough matchup for the Nuggets or just a scheduling quirk? How much trouble does Domantas Sabonis give Jokic? Finally, Matt has three championship trends for Adam to see if he's a buyer or seller. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDON GrammarlyWhen it comes to writing, Grammarly is there to support you from start to finish.

Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray also get their flowers for big games, and Christian Braun seems to have turned a corner. Plus, one of the better stories of the season is the resurgence/emergence of Zeke Nnaji plus what he brings at the power forward spot. A good win for the Nuggets, broken down by World's Finest on Locked on Nuggets.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDON GrammarlyWhen it comes to writing, Grammarly is there to support you from start to finish.

Nuggets Show Warriors Who's Boss As Nikola Jokic Dominates

What if the Nuggets don't win the title, what sunk them? Is it shooting? Is it Jamal Murray going cold? If the Nuggets win with a cold Murray, who steps up? In a bizarro world where Nikola Jokic or Jamal Murray don't win Finals MVP, who would? Who's the player outside the top 8 who could step up and have a surprising run?

What If... Nuggets Edition

The Nuggets have work to do in their last 27 games. Denver has to navigate securing a top-three seed in the Western Conference, getting Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Jamal Murray, and Aaron Gordon healthy for the playoffs, ramping up to stay sharp while cooling off to get refreshed, and somehow navigate a tough Western Conference. Matt Moore breaks down the scenarios and needs of the Nuggets including some reassurance that as long as the Nuggets are healthy, they're still the team to beat in the NBA.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GrammarlyWhen it comes to writing, Grammarly is there to support you from start to finish. With one click, you can easily and easily brainstorm, rewrite, and reply with suggestions based on your context and goals. Go to grammarly.com/PODCAST to download for FREE today. NissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV’s with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level. Take the Nissan Rogue, Nissan Pathfinder, or Nissan Armada and go find your next big adventure.

All-Star Nikola Jokic | Bromance in Full Effect | Midseason Review

Matt Moore and Adam Mares assess the Nuggets at the All-Star break. Denver is in a good position at the break, but it&#39;s clear the run to the repeat will be more difficult than last year. We talk about why the margin for error is smaller but why Denver is still built for the challenge. Nikola Jokic leads the second ESPN straw poll, but will he win his third MVP? Matt and Adam disagree on it being a two-man race. The Nuggets face the Kings in a revenge spot, but they might be short-handed. Matt and Adam have very different ideas about what kind of game it will be. Plus, Matt predicts someone will make the mistake of poking the bear.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!NissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV’s with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level. Take the Nissan Rogue, Nissan Pathfinder, or Nissan Armada and go find your next big adventure.

The Denver Nuggets Lose in Blowout Fashion | MVP Straw Poll is Out | Do the Nuggets Need More Help?

The Nuggets have only one NBA championship in their franchise history. But the door is open for them to become a dynasty, Matt Moore says, because when you have the best player in the sport, No.15, you always have a chance to come out on top. He talks about the window for the Nuggets to win even if they're not the best team that season, and how when you have a guy who always comes through, that opens up your window a lot wider. Then he previews the game vs. the Milwaukee Bucks and the challenge they present.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!NissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV’s with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level. Take the Nissan Rogue, Nissan Pathfinder, or Nissan Armada and go find your next big adventure.
