That was very evident during the Denver Nuggets game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. During the Nuggets’ 121-108 win against the Cavs, Joker kept engaging his teammates and beat Cleveland’s defense from multiple angles.

The Cavaliers were missing their primary offensive weapon in Donovan Mitchell and the Nuggets took full advantage of that. Mitchell was rated for the day after having a record 71-point game against the Chicago Bulls. Overall, they have played an excellent season in the widely competitive Eastern Conference.

Jokic scored the game-high 28 for the Nuggets, but his offensive prowess wasn’t just limited to the scoring. He also had 15 massive rebounds in the game. Of these 15 rebounds, he had 4 offensive rebounds. The 2 x MVP also dropped 10 dimes in the game along with 3 of 4 three-pointers, and 2 steals. It was Jokic’s 10th triple-double this season. All of the Nuggets’ starters were plus in the plus/minus odd.

The Denver has been excellent throughout the season for his team. Despite not having Jamal Murray in his 100 percent and Kevin Porter Jr. at the beginning of the season, he has kept the Nuggets’ ship afloat, So far into the season he has been averaging 25.3 points, 9.5 assists, and 10.8 rebounds per game. These numbers are very much like the numbers Jokic put in last season. If Jokic wins the 3rd consecutive MVP, his would be one of the biggest historical seasons in the league.
