Nikola Jokic (personal reasons) remains listed as questionable for Nuggets vs. #Pelicans. Javonte Green on Jokic: “He’s not a traditional big man. He passes, rebounds, does it all. He’s (like) a 7-foot Jalen Williams.” Green said Pels prepared as though Joker will play – 12:42 PM

Nikola Jokic is a three-time MVP. But he’s only now playing the best basketball of his (regular-season) career.
I wrote about how Jokic is doing something unprecedented—and why it might counterintuitively be a concern for Denver.

Shaq suggesting Joel should come out to prove he’s better than Jokic in his first game back, Barkley claiming Towns shouldn’t be shooting all those 3’s, that Joel should play in all back to backs, and Kenny claiming that if Shaq shot a 3 over Jrue Holiday itd be a win for Boston – 7:50 PM

Michael Porter Jr. is averaging a career high 2.9 assists per game.
He has just as many assists in the clutch as Nikola Jokic, (6) tied for 4th most in the entire NBA.

More on this storyline
Michael Scotto: Reigning MVP Nikola Jokic is questionable for Friday’s Denver Nuggets game against the New Orleans Pelicans due to personal reasons. -via Twitter @MikeAScotto / November 14, 2024
“He touches all the bases,’’ Cousy said in phone interview from his home in Worcester, Mass. “He’s a big man with little-man skills. His footwork around the basket parallels that of a much smaller person and yet he’s 6-foot-11. If you watch him, he doesn’t look like an athlete. He looks more like a truck driver, but he’s got all the skills that a smaller man has with the obvious advantage of good timing and being almost 7-feet.” -via The Denver Gazette / November 14, 2024
“You watch him and he’s very mobile and he can hit from the outside,’’ Pettit said of Jokic, who is averaging a triple-double of 29.7 points, 13.7 rebounds and 11.7 assists for the 7-3 Nuggets. “He’s a very good outside shooter. He’s just got a real good game. He’s very good fundamentally.” -via The Denver Gazette / November 14, 2024
