MVP?

Nikola Jokic was at it again on Tuesday night scoring 24 of his 35 points in the second half to lead the Denver Nuggets to victory. After a first half in which Jokic picked up three fouls — one being a technical — one might think his night was going to end a little early, but the Nuggets superstar made sure that didn’t happen.

Jokic was phenomenal in the games final two quarters and finished the night with 35 points on 12-of-20 shooting from the field, 1-of-1 from beyond the arc, and 10-of-12 from the free-throw line. It was not just scoring as Jokic recorded yet another double-double with 15 rebounds to go along with six assists.

Jokic put in work tonight:

⛏ 35 PTS
⛏ 15 REB
⛏ 6 AST
⛏ 3 STL

Something should also be said for Jokic’s defense as he caused problems in the paint for Minnesota all night long. Jokic finished the game with three steals and played a massive role in the Nuggets success on both ends of the court.
