Nuggets' bench keeps coming up empty from deep without Julian Strawther
While the Denver Nuggets bench has improved their non-Nikola Jokic minutes with the addition of center Marvin Bagley III, the bench itself is struggling. They're just 24th in the league in bench points scored, at 30.3 per game. And even worse, there's no three-point oomph. The Nuggets' bench is dead last, by a lot. They're really missing Julian Strawther. And without him, there might not be much they can do.
The Nuggets bench is attempting just 7.0 threes per game, averaging 2.0 makes. The 29th-place team is attempting 11, with 3.1 made threes. It's rough. And it's not like DeMar DeRozan is going to, all of a sudden, become a three-point threat.
