C 2 - Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets)
The Denver Nuggets have been playing some exceptional basketball this NBA season. They are at the top of the Western Conference, with a 26-11 record. They have won 8 of their last 10 games and have gone on a 5-match winning streak. They are enjoying the game out there and playing to win each game and Nikola Jokic is to be one of the players who seems to have a point to prove this season.


Jokic has been playing so well that he has catapulted into MVP discussions of late. He is averaging just under 19 points per game, along with 10 rebounds and over 7 assists a game, which is amazing for a big man.

In the win over the Charlotte Hornets, Jokic had a killer game, scoring 39 points, along with 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and a block. His numbers have been amazing and the Nuggets would love for Jokic to continue playing at this level tomorrow as well against the Houston Rockets.
