Nikola Jokic- B-

Jokic didn’t put up staggering numbers in this game, but he did shoot 100% from the field and made the most of what he got which is why he still earns at least a B- for this game.

His passing ability was what was impressive as he posted 5 key assists which is huge since it allows Nurkic more freedom to work in the paint when Jokic is passing like he was in this game.

The Jokic parade has seems to have faded out a bit, but that may have something to do with Nurkic’s emergence as well. If anything we may see a case where Nurkic becomes the alpha male of the front court with Jokic becoming a great side-kick to him.

Not to mention, Jokic can still go on a tear as indicated in the Portland game.
