The Denver Nuggets are having another great season and they look as though they will once again be championship contenders. Denver did not have the best start to the season, but they have been on fire over the past month.
Scoring has been climbing as of late, but this year the stat inflation has revealed itself in a more subtle way.
Jokić joins Wilt Chamberlain as the only players in NBA history to record at least 35 points, 20 rebounds and 15 assists in a game.
Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokić joined elite company with a dominant triple-double on Thursday night, all while he drained a near full-court heave.
When Russell Westbrook signed with the Denver Nuggets this past offseason, the move raised eyebrows. Known for his explosive athleticism, triple-double prowess, and relentless energy, Westbrook was joining a team already led by two-time MVP Nikola Jokić.
Nikola Jokic took 709 games to beat Larry Bird's mark and become the fastest to ever record 15K points, 7.5K rebounds and 5K assists.
There are a lot of factors to consider when talking about a deal that would pair Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox.
According to Bovada, the Nuggets have the sixth-best odds (+650) to land Fox from Sacramento. The Miami Heat are the favorite (+450) to acquire him followed by the San Antonio Spurs (+500), Minnesota Timberwolves (+500) and Houston Rockets (+600).
Nikola Jokic took an inbounds pass with 1.7 seconds left in the third quarter, turned and let fly with a 66-foot heave that got all net at the other end.
Russell Westbrook partnership has worked so well, Michael Malone must keep the latter in the Nuggets’ starting lineup.
With Denver’s turnaround, ESPN’s Kevin Pelton gave the Nuggets an A- grade on their midseason report card.
