The Nuggets won their first game with interim coach David Adelman, and Russell Westbrook only played 17 minutes.
Between the shocking trade of Luka Doncic and recent coach firings by two playoff contenders, this NBA season has thrown some massive curveballs.
And with nearly any transaction, there is inevitably an impact on the betting market.
The Denver Nuggets fired head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth this week.
As reports surface, Russell Westbrook’s poor play may have served as a lightning rod for locker-room dissension. The veteran brings valuable energy and hustle, but his shooting percentages are often a detriment.
And that negative was amplified with four straight losses, which prompted Denver to make the unexpected moves.
The Nuggets won their first game with interim coach David Adelman, and Westbrook only played 17 minutes, while scoring five points on 2-for-11 shooting.
