DENVER (AP) Jamal Murray scored 34 points, Nikola Jokic finished an assist shy of his 26th triple-double of the season and the Denver Nuggets extended their winning streak to nine games by holding off the depleted Charlotte Hornets 129-115 on Thursday night.

Jokic finished with 29 points, 17 rebounds and nine assists. He attempted a career-high 14 3-pointers and made six.

Murray picked right up where he left off before the All-Star break when he erupted for 55 points. Against Charlotte, Murray was 12 of 18 from the floor, including seven 3-pointers.

A 17 1/2-point favorite, the Nuggets didn't put away the Hornets until a late spurt. The win, coupled with a loss by Memphis, moved the Nuggets into second place in the Western Conference.

Miles Bridges had a season-high 36 points to go with 13 rebounds for a Hornets team missing LaMelo Ball (ankle management) and Mark Williams (return to competition reconditioning). Charlotte was playing on the second night of a back-to-back after beating the Lakers 100-97 in Los Angeles. It was a game rescheduled from January due to the devastating wildfires in Southern California.

Hornets: Tied Denver in fast-break points (15-15) and points in the paint (52-52). The Nuggets entered the game leading the league in both categories.

Nuggets: Russell Westbrook (hamstring), Michael Porter Jr. (hamstring) and Aaron Gordon (calf) all returned to the court Thursday. Gordon had 18 points and Porter grabbed 11 boards.

Julian Strawther hit a pair of 3-pointers to fuel a 13-2 run early in the fourth quarter to help the Nuggets gain some separation.

Jokic's opening seven shots of the game were all from 3-point range.

Both teams play Saturday. The Nuggets host LeBron James, Luka Doncic and the Los Angeles Lakers, while the Hornets play at Portland.
