David Adelman pushed the right buttons with Nuggets rotation against Pelicans

Nugg Love's David Decker argues that Denver Nuggets head coach David Adelman found an effective rotation in a 104-91 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. Addressing early-season injuries to Cameron Johnson, Spencer Jones, Julian Strawther, and Alpha Diallo, Adelman inserted rookie second-round pick Trevon Brazile into the starting lineup alongside Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Christian Braun.

Decker writes that Brazile provided valuable defense, rebounding, and athleticism that helped Denver build an early 19-point lead. Decker also praised Adelman's bench rotation, noting that Marvin Bagley III contributed eight points and five rebounds alongside Jokic, while DeMar DeRozan added five assists in 25 minutes off the bench.
