has hit five or more three-pointers off the bench in 11 games this season, which is pretty impressive.
And Denver's 8-3 when he does such things.
So they had another one of those wins on Friday.
Then on Sunday, the Blazers...
Excuse me, the Nuggets beat the Blazers.
And Jokic, another triple-double.
Ho-hum, his 35th triple-double of the season.
But Peyton Watson was back.
This is the big news here.
I want to get your opinions on this.
He hadn't played since February 4th with the hamstring injury.
Scored 14 points in under 20 minutes.
one of seven guys for the Nuggets to score in double figures, so everybody was contributing.
But first time Denver had Gordon, Watson, and Jokic in the same game since November 21st.
So they're sort of finally healthy here, and they got a win against a Blazers team who had been winning games.
So this was a quality win, and they need all these wins to stay in the race with these other teams we're talking about.
But what did you think of Peyton Watson's return?
I thought he was super rusty.
I think he had three air balls in this game, including his very first shot, which was like a six-footer that he shot four feet.
So he was rusty, but I thought it was interesting to see the way Jokic in particular was playing with him.
