Nuggets head coach Michael Malone made a lineup change on Wednesday night, benching Christian Braun for Aaron Gordon against the Knicks.

Scoring has been climbing as of late, but this year the stat inflation has revealed itself in a more subtle way.

Tyler Herro scored 30 points, Bam Adebayo finished with 26 and Miami Heat erased a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter before beating Orlando in double overtime.

Franz Wagner led the Magic with 29 points. With 33.5 seconds to go in regulation, Nikola Jovic lobbed a pass for Kel'el Ware to dunk, putting Miami on top 108-106. Five seconds later, Wagner beat a double team by banking in a shot, tying the score and forcing overtime.

For those unfamiliar with the All-Star starter selection process, fans make up 50% of the vote for two guards and three frontcourt players (forward or center) for the Eastern Conference and Western Conference. Current NBA players account for 25% and a media panel accounts for 25%. Players can vote for themselves, by the way.

If the Nuggets make a move at the NBA trade deadline, what type of player should they prioritize? Can they improve their rotation without losing Michael Porter Jr.?

Karl-Anthony Towns had 24 points and 11 rebounds, and Jalen Brunson had 20 points and six assists for the Knicks, who scored 143 points for the second straight game and won their fourth straight. New York (31-16) won for the 16th time in its past 22 games.

Nikola Jokic had 35 points, 22 rebounds and a season-high 17 assists for his fifth straight triple-double, and the host Denver Nuggets held on to beat the Sacramento Kings 132-123 on Thursday night.

The Denver Nuggets are 28-19 after three straight losses on their current five-game road trip. Currently sitting at fourth place in the Western Conference, the Nuggets have mostly bounced back from an inconsistent start to the season, though weaknesses on defense continue to show.
