While the listing can change as per the timely update, and with Nikola featuring the last time, it is likely that he sits this one out. Jamal Murray dropped 41 and chances are he will lead the line again.
Bones Hyland, Jack White, and Aaron Gordon are also on the injury report.
Nikola Jokic’s stats in the 2022-23 NBA Season. MVP three-peat?
Nikola Jokic is on fire. The Serbian center has averaged a whopping 24.8-11.3-10.1 per game. A triple-double.
He is already leading the league in total assists and is likely to average 10 per game. If Nikola does record a triple-double as a season average, he will become only the third player to do so.
With the Nuggets owning the league-best record, there is little doubt that he would not get his 3rd straight MVP. The Joker continues his tyranny.
