The Denver Nuggets sit 6‑4 and ninth in the West as concerns grow that Nikola Jokers’ prime may be fading, according to Ringer analyst Wosny Lambre. Lambre, on “The Kevin O’Connor Show,” argues Jokic shouldn’t earn a super‑max contract, citing a dip from his MVP‑level performance against top defenders like Anthony Davis. At 31, Jokic averages 23.5 points, 10.8 rebounds, 9.0 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.2 blocks and 50% shooting this season—still impressive but below his triple‑double norm. The Nuggets have won three of their last four games, leaving the debate over his longevity open.

After a tough 2025 playoff exit and a dip in efficiency, Murray responded with elite scoring bursts—five 30‑point games—and a newfound defensive impact, helping Denver post a 114.1 defensive rating with him on the floor versus 122.8 when he sits. The Nuggets’ former backup has earned his first All‑Star and All‑NBA nod, showcasing elevated effort and technical skill as his athleticism wanes.

NBA forward Malik Beasley is livestreaming on TikTok to sell game‑worn, autographed jerseys as he prepares for a Dec. 9 plea hearing in Brooklyn on federal gambling charges. The merch, shown in a NBACentral clip, includes a Nuggets jersey, though its game‑use history isn’t verified. Beasley, who last played for the Pistons in 2024‑25 (16.3 points per game, second in Sixth Man voting) and missed the 2025‑26 season, has agreed to plead guilty after being indicted in June for allegedly fixing his performance with the Bucks in 2023‑24.

The Phoenix Suns’ early‑season center drama centers on rookie Khaman Maluach, the 2025 lottery pick. After starter Mark Williams misses opening night with a torn labrum, Maluach earns his first start against Portland but the Suns fall quickly. Injuries to veteran Oso Ighodaro force Maluach into a thin rotation, where he battles elite bigs from Golden State, Oklahoma City and Denver. When Ighodaro returns, Maluach shifts to a bench role, delivering solid contributions: 8 points, 6 rebounds and a +13 rating versus Orlando, then 8 points, 10 rebounds and a +11 rating versus Houston, even limiting Alperen Şengün. He caps the stretch with 11 points, five rebounds and a three‑pointer against Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs. The article argues that his defensive hustle and adaptability are key to the Suns’ developing frontcourt.

The Sacramento Kings, reeling from a 1-10 start, sign veteran center Mason Plumlee to bolster a thin frontcourt. The 36‑year‑old, now in his 14th NBA season, becomes the 10th team of his career, having played for the Nets, Blazers, Nuggets, Pistons, Hornets, Clippers, Suns, Spurs and a brief stint with the Thunder. Plumlee, a former Duke first‑round pick, averaged 4.5 points and 6.1 rebounds last season with Phoenix. The move addresses recent depth concerns after Domantas Sabonis missed games with knee soreness, leaving Dylan Cardwell and Precious Achiuwa to guard the paint. The Kings hope Plumlee’s size and experience help snap the skid ahead of Friday’s home game against Portland.
