Malik Beasley is exactly the kind of scorer that can bring the Nuggets back from their 1-2 series deficit. What I mean there is, if you stop pretending that he’s your sixth-man scorer off the bench and make him the second option behind Nikola Jokic, it’s basically guaranteed that he’ll pop for twenty, maybe twenty-five…
