Everybody be healthy.

I'm excited tonight that Peyton Watson is firmly the third option in the Denver Nuggets lineup.

He's the third option.

He gets to be aggressive tonight in the way that we have seen him excel as the number two option overall.

Now he's the number three option in the starting lineup.

And I think we're going to get to see some of what I've been waiting to see.

Now that he has a longer leash, what does it look like with Jokic?

Jamal Murray's been spectacular.

You just saw the numbers Cale put up.

They were unbelievable.

Well, now he gets to be more open and have a guy with a lot of gravity.

Even guys like Spencer Jones, Tim Hardaway Jr., these guys have played well, and now we get to see what they look like in this role.

And then if you get Christian Brown back...

you know, Nax or Cam Johnson.

It's like, okay, now we get a different look.

And then CB comes back.

It's a different look.

So part of me is excited that by virtue of being forced to do it, we're going to get to see lineups that I'm glad we're going to get a good sample of.

And yet, I still think, I would not be surprised, Nuggets fans, I'll take a deep breath, I would not be surprised if they struggle tonight.

Oklahoma City coming up next with a tough game, and then at Detroit is going to be a tough one as well.
