DENVER -- The Denver Nuggets fell 0-2 in the second-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves with a 106-80 loss on Monday night. The locker room was completely silent afterward, and coach Michael Malone did not hold back. "They kicked our ass. So yeah, it got away from us," Malone said...

The NBA will not suspend Jamal Murray for throwing a heat pack onto the floor in Monday's Game 2 loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but he has drawn a $100,000 fine, the league announced Tuesday. Amid an awful start, Murray couldn't contain his frustration, and late in the first half, with the Timberwolves already leading by 17 points and Murray on the bench, the Nuggets star threw a heat pack onto the court mid-play.

Dubon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Dubon is on the bench for a second straight game and seems to have moved into a part-time role after he had drawn starts in the outfield in each of the first three games of May. The Astros have a regular opening in left field with Chas McCormick (hamstring) moving to the injured list, but rookie Joey Loperfido looks to have an edge on the gig, leaving Dubon to vie with Jake Meyers and Trey Cabbage for playing time at the other outfield spot while Kyle Tucker is locked in as the everyday right fielder.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

The Marlins selected Villalobos' contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday. The right-hander was dropped from Miami's 40-man roster last summer but will now receive another look in the big leagues. Villalobos hasn't been particularly impressive at Triple-A this season with a 4.73 ERA and 1.37 WHIP over 13.1 innings.

Murray is questionable for Monday's Game 2 against the Timberwolves due to a left calf strain. Murray continues to play through the calf issue but wasn't at his best during Sunday's Game 1 loss, as he posted only 17 points and four assists. Despite not being 100 percent, he averaged 23.6 points, 7.2 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 39.8 minutes during the opening-round series against the Lakers, including two game-winning shots. Murray is likely more probable than questionable, but his official availability will be a game-time decision.
