Jokic is currently averaging 25.4 PPG, 13.8 RPG, 7.9 APG, and 1.4 SPG, as he carries his team all alone in the absence of Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. Jokic who currently is in the lead for getting the MVP award this year was elected the MVP last year as well, and the least that we can say is that he deserves it.
Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets this season
Jokic along with the Nuggets hasn’t failed in their goal of leaving a mark in the NBA as the team currently stands at the 6th position in the Western Conference with a tremendous record of 36-26 this season, which has given them a comfortable cushion in order to qualify for the playoffs and hopefully get their hands at the NBA Championship this season.
The Nuggets lost to the Thunder in their latest matchup by a 12-point margin but Jokic still didn’t fail to impress as the player led the way for his team with 22 points, 4 assists and 16 rebounds in an inadequate effort as the team succumbed to the pressure put up by Thunder being led by Isaiah Roby who scored 26 points, 5 assists and 7 rebounds.
Watch:
The Denver Nuggets are optimistic about their chances of getting the championship this season as the team is led by Jokic who doesn’t seem to be stopping at any point before he takes his team to the finals and therefore, it will be fun to watch how the Nuggets carry forward the form built up by their marquee player and what good use do they make of that form.
Meanwhile, Jokic’s manager will probably get the deal done and Jokic will take the lead in the contract price list while also getting what he deserves.
