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.

The Denver Nuggets have a problem when it comes to hanging on to a center that can confidently backup Nikola Jokic.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Anthony Edwards scored 34 points and became the Minnesota Timberwolves’ career leader in 3-pointers in a 133-104 victory over the Denver Nuggets 133-104 on Saturday. Edwards made 14 of 23 shots from the floor and scored 23 points in the second half as Minnesota pulled away after leading by 11 at halftime.

Nuggets star Nikola Jokic recorded his 19th triple-double of the season with 27 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists. Tyrese Maxey led all scorers with 28.

If the Denver Nuggets want to make a trade before the Feb. 6 deadline, they need to make a bigger splash than this.

After starting Wednesday's loss to Houston, Jordan will head back to Denver's bench in the return of Nikola Jokic (illness) on Friday. Over his past five games (two starts), Jordan is averaging 5.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 16.3 minutes.

Jokic suggested the idea as the "NBA on TNT" crew asked him to sing the rap song on air in their postgame interview. “I don’t know (the lyrics) anymore, but I’m going to (learn) it. Maybe I’m going to perform,” Jokic said. The crew then reacted to Jokic’s suggestion, proposing it to happen during the All-Star game in February.

Nikola Jokic had 33 points and 14 assists, but the Nuggets gave up a big run to start the fourth quarter in a loss to the Bulls.

If Gordon returns to the starting lineup soon, what impact could that have on how Denver evaluates the trade deadline?

Denver dominated inside, but it wasn't enough to offset Chicago's hot 3-point shooting. The Nuggets dropped to 0-2 to start the road trip despite another Nikola Jokic triple-double and a career night from Christian Braun.

Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards led all scorers with 34 points, while Nikola Jokic saw his five-game streak of triple-doubles come to an end as Denver's four-game win streak ended in Minnesota
