Gordon has dealt with his fair share of injuries this season, already missing 24 games. The Nuggets are 15-9 when Gordon is sidelined, as he also missed Denver's last matchup with the Celtics. The 29-year-old forward is averaging 12.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game this season, becoming a huge contributor for the Nuggets.

It's part of what makes the Nuggets star one of the greatest offensive players in NBA history. He doesn't want to score 50 points. He wants to scare you into thinking he might because his legendary passing can take over a game when you send too much help his way.

After winning three of the last four NBA MVP awards, Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic could be on his way to another. At the All-Star break, Jokic is averaging 29.8 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 10.2 assists per game with absurd 57.7/45.0/82.3 shooting splits.

Nikola Jokić had a night to forget as the Denver Nuggets’ nine-game winning streak came to an end after a disappointing 123-100 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. He was caught off guard by the plan JJ Redick and the Lakers executed but believes Denver might have a bigger issue to solve.

The Denver Nuggets bounced back from their loss to the Los Angeles Lakers and defeated the Indiana Pacers, 125-116, on Monday. Denver now sits at 38-20 on the season and reclaimed second place in the Western Conference standings.

Nikola Jokić couldn’t quite get to a triple-double on Monday night in Indianapolis, but he still found a way to make history. The Denver Nuggets star dropped a career-high 19 assists while leading them to a 125-116 win over the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Denver is as good as anybody right now, though. The Thunder are tied for the best record in the league at 44-10. Denver is on pace for about 53 wins, while OKC is going to challenge for 66 or 67 wins at this pace. Most of that separation in the standings happened in the first month and a half of the season.

Given his style of play, Nuggets coach Mike Malone believes Jokić can could last in the league at an elite ... with Michael Porter Jr. (hamstring), Russell Westbrook (hamstring) and Aaron Gordon (calf) all going through practice Wednesday.

Luka Doncic delivered his best performance yet with the Los Angeles Lakers, dropping 32 points to lead the Lakers to a dominant 123-100 victory over his friend Nikola Jokić and the Denver Nuggets, snapping Denver’s nine-game winning streak.

One of Nikola Jokić’s teammates on the Denver Nuggets shared his thoughts on the new-look Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA.
